About Arak

Arak is a traditional Middle Eastern alcoholic beverage made primarily from distilled grapes and anise seeds, giving it a distinctive licorice flavor. Popular in Levantine cuisines, including Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, arak is often enjoyed as an accompaniment to mezze, served diluted with water and ice to create a milky-white appearance. Nutritionally, arak is high in alcohol content, typically ranging between 40-60%, and contains no sugars or fats, making it relatively low in calories compared to sugary cocktails. While it has no significant nutritional benefits, its natural ingredients like anise may provide minimal digestive support. However, arak should be consumed in moderation due to its potency and potential health effects associated with high alcohol intake. It is a culturally significant drink best enjoyed responsibly as part of a balanced lifestyle and diet.
