Baba Ghanoush is a creamy, flavorful dip originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Made from roasted or charred eggplant, it is blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sometimes spices like cumin or smoked paprika. This dish is naturally vegan and gluten-free, offering a nutritious option for appetizers or snacks. Eggplant serves as the nutrient-rich base, providing fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins like B6 and potassium. Tahini and olive oil contribute healthy fats, while lemon juice adds vitamin C and a bright, tangy flavor. While Baba Ghanoush is relatively low in calories, moderation is key due to the fat content from olive oil and tahini. It pairs well with fresh vegetables or whole-grain pita, making it a versatile addition to a balanced diet.
