Eggplant dip, also known as baba ghanoush, is a creamy and flavorful spread originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Made primarily from roasted or grilled eggplant blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and various spices, it offers a smoky and rich taste. Packed with nutrients, this dip is low in calories while being high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals like potassium and antioxidants found in eggplant. The healthy fats from olive oil and tahini contribute to heart health and satiety. While it’s a nutritious addition to meals, portion control is key as the calorie content can rise depending on the amount of tahini and oil used. Eggplant dip pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetables, flatbreads, or as a topping for protein dishes, making it a versatile, plant-based choice for those seeking a wholesome, global-inspired snack or appetizer.
