About Babaghanouj

Babaghanouj is a creamy Middle Eastern dip made primarily from roasted eggplant, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Originating from Levantine cuisine, it is a staple in dishes served across countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. The roasting of the eggplant imparts a smoky flavor that pairs well with the rich, nutty undertones of tahini and the brightness of lemon. Babaghanouj is a nutrient-dense dish, rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals thanks to its eggplant base. It also provides heart-healthy fats from olive oil and tahini. Low in carbohydrates and calories, it is suitable for various diets, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. However, its calorie count can increase when consumed with bread or crackers, so mindful pairing is recommended. Babaghanouj is a flavorful and healthy offering that can serve as a delicious accompaniment to meals or a standalone snack.
