Eggplant is delicious both grilled and fried. Before cooking eggplant, you must first remove the stem. Eggplants have both a stem and a cap, but if you cut off the tip of the eggplant without removing the cap, you are throwing away all the nutrients, which is a waste of time and money! This article introduces the basic preparation method for tasting eggplant without wasting any of its nutrients.
