About Eggplant, raw
Raw eggplant is spongy, mildly bitter, and not particularly pleasant to eat without cooking - but that spongy texture is exactly what makes it so useful. It absorbs oil, aromatics, and sauce better than almost any other vegetable. Relatively low in calories, with meaningful fiber and minimal protein or fat. The skin is edible and contains most of the color and some of the bitter compounds. Salting before cooking helps draw out moisture and reduce bitterness, though modern varieties tend to be milder than older ones.
