About Beetroot falafel

Beetroot falafel is a vibrant twist on the traditional Middle Eastern falafel, infused with nutrient-rich beetroot for added flavor and health benefits. These colorful patties are typically made from a blend of chickpeas or fava beans, shredded beetroot, garlic, onion, fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and aromatic spices such as cumin and coriander. Originating from the Middle Eastern cuisine, beetroot falafel combines the earthy sweetness of beetroot with the classic savory essence of falafel. Packed with plant-based protein and fiber from chickpeas, and antioxidants from beetroot, they can support heart health, digestion, and help fight inflammation. Often baked or pan-fried, they are a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried falafel. While highly nutritious, the addition of sweet beetroot can slightly increase the natural sugar content. Enjoy beetroot falafel as part of a wrap, salad, or bowl for a flavorful, wholesome meal.
