Eggplant is a low-calorie product. For salad, it is not recommended to choose heavy and too large fruits. It is better to give preference to young eggplants with smooth and elastic skin, without cracks and brown and light spots. Walnuts should be golden in color, with a characteristic bright aroma. The taste is oily and slightly bitter. Store unshelled nuts in airtight glass jars. If you store them in plastic bags, the nuts may develop an unpleasant odor.
