Baba Ghannouge is a creamy, flavorful dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly associated with Levantine countries like Lebanon and Syria. This traditional dish is made primarily from roasted or charred eggplant, which is blended with tahini (ground sesame seed paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Its smoky taste and smooth texture make it a popular choice for pairing with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a condiment. Nutritionally, Baba Ghannouge is a heart-healthy option rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like B6 and potassium from eggplant. Olive oil and tahini supply healthy fats, contributing to satiety and supporting cardiovascular health. However, the calorie and fat content can add up if consumed in large portions, so moderation is key. This dish is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it a versatile addition to a variety of diets.
