5. Aubergine
Aubergine or egg plant is a vegetable that can also be highly versatile. This is a large, soft food that has an unusual flavor and which can add a lot of body to a meal.
This is a great base for a smoothie but it is also a key ingredient in things like moussaka. Aubergine can even be fried to give it a crispy and very rich flavour. And it’s only 15 GI!
