About Dolmada

Dolmada, a staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, are grape leaves stuffed with a flavorful mixture of rice, herbs, and occasionally meat. Originating from the Ottoman Empire, this dish is renowned for its unique taste and cultural significance. Ingredients like parsley, dill, and onion lend their fresh and aromatic qualities, while olive oil used in preparation adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The rice provides energy-rich carbohydrates, and when meat is included, it offers protein content. Dolmada are naturally low in sugar but can be high in sodium depending on preparation. While the grape leaves themselves are a good source of fiber and vitamins A and K, calorie content may vary, particularly when paired with dipping sauces like yogurt or tahini. Overall, Dolmada are a delicious option for those seeking a light yet satisfying dish, showcasing both tradition and nutrition.
