About Falafel ball
Falafel is a Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, blended with fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, garlic, onion, and warm spices such as cumin and coriander. Shaped into small balls or patties, falafel is traditionally deep-fried, achieving a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, it offers a filling and nutritious vegetarian or vegan option. Chickpeas also provide key nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. However, its healthiness can depend on preparation—while deep-frying increases calorie and fat content, baking or air-frying are lighter alternatives. Often served in pita bread with tahini, fresh veggies, and pickles, falafel is a versatile staple of Middle Eastern cuisine enjoyed worldwide in salads, wraps, or as a snack on its own.
