I've been eating baingan bharta and nothing happened, except some acidity. Just don't overeat or you'll be running for antacids!

I checked on my tracker app and it says eggplant is rich in folate and safe. Just have it in normal food portions, not excessively.

Look, there's no harm in eating eggplant. Some elders say avoid it because of heat, but medically it's fine if washed and cooked well.
