About Baba ganoush

Baba Ganoush is a creamy Middle Eastern dip made primarily from roasted eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Originating from Levantine cuisine, this smoky, flavorful dish is a staple in Mediterranean diets and is often paired with pita bread or fresh vegetables. Eggplant, its main ingredient, is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and low in calories, promoting heart health and digestion. The tahini and olive oil provide healthy fats that support brain function and reduce inflammation. Lemon juice adds a boost of vitamin C, while garlic offers immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. While nutrient-dense, Baba Ganoush can be calorie-dense due to the olive oil and tahini content, so portion control is key for those monitoring calorie intake. Overall, it's a healthy, plant-based option packed with flavor and nutrition.
