Ancient Chinese medicine recognized eggplant for its antitumor properties, and modern research continues to support its anticancer effects.
Eggplant contains glycosides, solanine, cucurbitacin, stachydrine, choline, basil, saponins, and other biological alkaloids known for their anticancer properties. Although vitamins A and C are in lower concentrations, eggplant is rich in essential nutrients, just like tomatoes.
