Eggplant is tasty, but not everyone should consume it. Here are the people who should avoid this vegetable:
1. People with Anemia or Iron Deficiency
The skin of eggplants contains anthocyanin. This substance “captures” iron ions found in other foods in the body, reducing iron absorption. It also has an effect on how zinc and copper ions are absorbed. People with anemia or iron deficiency should avoid eggplant and instead consume iron-rich foods such as red meat and animal liver.
