About Egyptian beans sandwich

The Egyptian Beans Sandwich, or "betengan b'ful," is a street food staple deeply rooted in Egyptian cuisine. This vegetarian sandwich features a filling of mashed fava beans, seasoned with garlic, cumin, lemon juice, and olive oil, all tucked inside warm pita bread. Additional toppings often include chopped tomatoes, onions, parsley, and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Packed with plant-based protein from the fava beans, it's a nutritious and satisfying meal. Fiber-rich ingredients promote digestion and sustained energy, while olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats. However, portions of tahini or added oils may increase calorie content, so moderation is key for those watching fat intake. The sandwich showcases Egypt's iconic flavors while offering a wholesome, balanced option for lovers of global cuisine.
