Baba Ghanouj is a creamy, smoky Middle Eastern dip made from roasted or grilled eggplant, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Originating in Levantine cuisine, this flavorful dish is a staple in Mediterranean diets. Eggplant serves as the nutrient-rich base, offering vitamins like B6 and K, antioxidants, and fiber, which aids digestion. Tahini, made from sesame seeds, adds healthy fats and minerals such as calcium and magnesium, while olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Lemon juice provides vitamin C for immune support, and garlic brings anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Baba Ghanouj is a low-calorie dish that fits well into plant-based diets, though its calorie content can rise with excessive use of oil or tahini. Served with vegetables or whole-grain flatbread, it’s a wholesome option for snacking or as part of a larger meal.
