Eggplant, appreciated in many cuisines for its taste and texture, offers many health benefits. However, this legume is not suitable for everyone. Some people should limit their consumption to avoid side effects. These are the groups concerned and the reasons behind these recommendations.
People who have to limit the consumption of Aubergine
People with anaemia or iron deficiency
The skin of eggplant contains a substance called an anthocyanin, which can bind to iron ions and thus decrease their absorption by the body.
As a result, people with anaemia or iron deficiency may worsen their condition by regularly consuming eggplant.
Recommendations: Preference should be given to iron-rich foods such as red meat, offal or pulses.
