First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.
| Eggplant | Potatoes |
| Nutrient | eggplant | potatoes |
| Protein | 8g | 5g |
| Carbohydrate | 48g | 44g |
| Fiber | 28g | 4g |
| Fat | 2g | 0g |
| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 0g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 1g | 0g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 0g |
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
| Nutrient | eggplant | potatoes |
| Choline | 14% | 10% |
| Vitamin A | 1% | 0% |
| Vitamin C | 24% | 38% |
| Vitamin E | 21% | 1% |
| Vitamin K | 36% | 8% |
Eggplant have significantly more Vitamins E, K than potatoes. Potatoes have significantly more Vitamins C than eggplant. Eggplant are a good source of Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Iron. Eggplant are a great source of Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Potassium. Potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C, Niacin, Potassium, Phosphorus, Iron. Potatoes are a great source of Vitamin B6.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
| Nutrient | eggplant | potatoes |
| Vitamin B1 | 33% | 16% |
| Vitamin B2 | 28% | 10% |
| Vitamin B3 | 45% | 30% |
| Vitamin B5 | 47% | 15% |
| Vitamin B6 | 64% | 43% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | eggplant | potatoes |
| Sodium | 1% | 2% |
| Potasium | 55% | 35% |
| Calcium | 15% | 4% |
| Magnesium | 33% | 18% |
| Phosphorus | 36% | 28% |
| Iron | 33% | 26% |
| Manganese | 91% | 17% |
| Selenium | 6% | 4% |
| Copper | 68% | 39% |
| Zinc | 14% | 10% |
