Along with water, it also releases body heat and calms hot flashes and hot flashes, making it possible to prevent and alleviate symptoms of summer fatigue such as lethargy and loss of appetite.

The bright purple color of eggplant peels is due to nasunin, a type of polyphenol.

Nasunin has a strong antioxidant effect and is believed to be effective in improving immunity, anti-aging, and preventing cancer.

It is the same anthocyanin pigment as blueberries, etc., so it is also effective in improving eyesight and eye strain.
