Is Eggplant Parmesan made with seed oils?
Usually seed oils
Usually the worst of the Italian entrees for seed oil.
Eggplant slices soak up oil like a sponge when they're breaded and fried, and most kitchens fry in soybean or canola oil rather than olive oil. The tracker estimates around 12g of seed-oil PUFA for a full entree, the highest of the pasta and Italian dishes in the tracker.
How to keep it seed-oil-free
Ask if the eggplant is fried in olive oil or baked instead of deep-fried.
