Is eggplant good for a diabetic?

Eggplant can be easily consumed by diabetic people as it has a low glycemic index and it does not raise blood sugar quickly compared to other carb-rich foods.

Is it OK to eat eggplant with brown spots?

Eggplant flesh will have tan to brown colored spots around the seeds. If this is the color you are referring to, it is edible. If the flesh is more brown than white, the eggplant may be spoiling and should be discarded.

How do you store roasted eggplant?

Can Eggplant be frozen for future use?

Once cool, halve the eggplant, scoop out the flesh, and freeze in freezer bags or containers. No matter which method you use, when stored properly, eggplant will last for up to one year in the freezer.

Can you roast frozen eggplant?

If the slices are thin, you could bake/roast straight from frozen. I do believe the texture will be quite soft so use a parchment lined sheet if you wish to roast it. I like to brush a bit of miso mixed with honey on roasted eggplants. Another option would be to lay it into a lasagna.

What is the best way to freeze eggplant?

Prick whole eggplants multiple times with a fork, and roast them at 400ºF until they collapse. Cool, then scoop out the flesh and stash it in freezer bags or containers. Use this eggplant in stews, chili, dips, or ratatouille.
