Why is this good for you ?

Aubergines are non-starchy vegetables; this group of vegetables may help decrease the risk of developing breast cancer.

Tomatoes are a good source of carotenoids, which give fruits and vegetables their bright red, yellow, orange and purple colours. Carotenoids can act as a type of antioxidant and may be associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer.
