About Egyptian falafel
Egyptian falafel, locally known as "ta'ameya," is a beloved street food with roots in Middle Eastern and Egyptian cuisine. Unlike traditional falafel made with chickpeas, ta'ameya uses protein-rich fava beans as its base. These are blended with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, and dill, along with onions, garlic, and warming spices such as cumin and coriander. The mixture is shaped into patties or balls and fried to crispy perfection. Packed with plant-based protein and fiber, ta'ameya is a nutrient-dense option suitable for vegetarians and vegans. However, its high oil absorption during frying can increase calorie content and fat levels, making moderation important for those watching their intake. Often served with fresh vegetables, flatbread, and tangy tahini sauce, Egyptian falafel is both flavorful and versatile, offering a glimpse into the rich culinary traditions of the region.
