anybody have any info or suggestions about eggplant for protein?

dear deerclan

eggplant is not a notable source of good quality protein, but for sure, its a big source of carbohydrate.

interestingly enough, a surprising worthwhile source of vegetable protein is an approximate 50/50 mixture of steamed broccoli and cauliflower. one would assume that the two would have a similar amino acid profile, but no, each one has what the other lacks, so together they rate a few notches higher.:d

warning: soy protein isolate rates very high on paper, but soy has powerful phytoestrogens that can play havoc with male sexuality. so, unless you are striving to be a chaste monk, and could use some feminizing to neutralize your biological drive, don't mess with it...

best, bbb (who found out about soy much too late

)
