    Eating eggplant raw may also have adverse health effects. Eggplant contains solanine, which is higher in old raw eggplant. If you eat tender eggplants raw and eat a small amount, you may not have obvious symptoms of acute poisoning. Once you eat eggplants with high solanine content, it is likely to cause poisoning, ranging from tingling to the lips, and life-threatening.
