Marinated Grilled Eggplant

Summer time is officially here and it is time to get that BBQ out! I love the BBQ because it makes cooking so easy because there are no pans to wash. Now, I realize not everyone likes eggplant, but just give it a try or just use a different vegetable.

Benefits of Eggplant

The wonderful health benefits of eggplants are primarily derived from its vitamin, mineral, and nutrient content. Eggplants are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, thiamin, niacin, phosphorus, copper, dietary fiber, folic acid, potassium, and manganese.

Benefits of Balsamic Vinegar

  • Balsamic contains a powerful antioxidant called polyphenols which fight cell damage and boost our immune system.
  • The antioxidant in balsamic has the potential to protect against heart disease, cancer, and other inflammatory conditions.
  • Balsamic can help boost the activity of the digestive enzyme pepsin thus improving metabolism.
