Eggplant is very low in calories and high in fiber, meaning it will fill you up. In addition, it contains a significant amount of potassium, folate, magnesium, copper, manganese and niacin. **It does contain oxalates, an organic acid, that could be harmful to people with kidney or gallbladder problems.
