About Baba
Baba, often called Baba Ghanoush, is a creamy, smoky eggplant-based dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Traditionally made by roasting eggplants and blending them with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices, this dish offers a flavorful and nutritious option. Eggplants are rich in antioxidants like nasunin, which support cellular health, and fiber that aids digestion. Tahini and olive oil contribute heart-healthy fats, while fresh garlic provides immune-boosting properties. Lemon juice adds vitamin C for an antioxidant punch. Baba is low in carbohydrates and can be a good option for plant-based diets. However, olive oil and tahini can add calories, so portions should be managed for those watching their intake. Served with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or pita, baba makes a wholesome and delightful addition to meals or snacks.
