About Babaganush

Babaganush is a creamy, smoky dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon and Israel. It’s made primarily from roasted or charred eggplant, which gives it its distinctive flavor, along with garlic, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, olive oil, and various spices. This dish is naturally low in calories and rich in fiber, thanks to the eggplant, which also provides vitamins like B6 and antioxidants. Tahini adds healthy fats and essential minerals such as calcium and iron, while olive oil contributes heart-friendly monounsaturated fats. Babaganush is free from gluten and dairy, making it an excellent option for many dietary restrictions. However, it can be calorie-dense if consumed in large amounts due to the tahini and olive oil. Served with pita bread, vegetables, or as a spread, it’s a nutritious and flavorful addition to meals or snacks.
