Falafel Egypt is a traditional Egyptian variation of the popular Middle Eastern falafel dish, made primarily from fava beans instead of chickpeas. These seasoned bean patties are blended with fresh herbs like coriander and parsley, garlic, onions, and a mix of spices, then formed into balls or patties and deep-fried until golden brown. Originating from Egyptian street food culture, falafel is often served with pita bread, pickled vegetables, fresh salads, and tahini sauce. Fava beans are rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate, contributing to heart health and sustained energy. However, the frying process adds calories and fat, making the dish less ideal for those seeking low-fat options. Pairing falafel with fresh vegetables and baked preparation methods can enhance its nutritional value while enjoying its earthy, flavorful profile.
