About Falafel balls
Falafel balls are a beloved Middle Eastern dish traditionally made from a blend of ground chickpeas or fava beans, fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, garlic, onion, and a mix of warming spices such as cumin and coriander. Typically deep-fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior, falafel is enjoyed as a snack, part of a salad, or stuffed in pita bread with accompaniments like tahini sauce, pickles, and vegetables. Packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and iron, falafel is a nutritious option for vegetarians and vegans. The chickpeas contribute to heart health and sustained energy, while the herbs provide antioxidants. However, since falafel is traditionally fried, it can be high in calories and fats, so baking or air-frying alternatives may offer lighter versions without sacrificing flavor. Perfectly seasoned and satisfying, falafel is a versatile staple in Middle Eastern cuisine with global appeal.
