About Chickpea falafel
Chickpea falafel is a nutritious and flavorful dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Made primarily from blended chickpeas or fava beans, the mixture is seasoned with herbs, garlic, onions, and spices like cumin and coriander before being formed into small patties or balls and fried. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, falafel supports digestive health and sustains energy levels. Chickpeas are also a good source of folate, iron, and magnesium, while the fresh herbs used are packed with antioxidants. Traditionally deep-fried, falafel can be less healthy when consumed frequently due to added fat, but baking or air-frying offers lighter alternatives. Often served in pita bread, salad bowls, or wraps, falafel pairs deliciously with tahini or yogurt-based sauces for added calcium and healthy fats. A versatile and satisfying option, falafel is popular in vegetarian and vegan diets worldwide.
