Did you know what is a moussaka? It’s the Greek equivalent of our traditional Sheppard’s Pie! Instead of layering beef, corn and mashed potatoes, it is made with eggplant, ground meat (beef or lamb) and béchamel sauce.
Did you know that the skin of the deepest-coloured eggplant is rich in anthocyanidins, the same kind of antioxidant pigment found in blueberries?
Do you know the nutritional value of eggplant?
