About Baba gannouj
Baba Gannouj is a creamy, smoky dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon and Syria. It is made by blending roasted eggplant, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic into a smooth mixture. This dish is not only beloved for its rich, complex flavor but also for its nutritional benefits. Eggplant is rich in antioxidants like nasunin and contains dietary fiber, promoting heart health and digestion. Tahini and olive oil add healthy fats, which support brain function and reduce inflammation. Lemon juice provides a dose of vitamin C, while garlic offers antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties. Baba Gannouj is typically low-calorie and plant-based, making it a nutritious choice, though the calorie content can increase depending on the amount of tahini or oil used. Served with fresh veggies or pita, it’s a wholesome, delicious addition to any meal.
