Falafel patties are a popular Middle Eastern dish made primarily from ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with herbs, garlic, onion, and spices such as cumin and coriander. These ingredients are formed into small patties and traditionally fried until golden and crispy. A staple in many vegetarian and vegan diets, falafel is high in plant-based protein and fiber, promoting satiety and digestive health. Chickpeas are also a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, folate, and magnesium. While traditionally fried, baking or air-frying falafel can reduce its fat content, making it a healthier option. Commonly served in pita bread or alongside fresh salads and dips like tahini or hummus, falafel offers a flavorful way to enjoy nutrient-dense ingredients inspired by Middle Eastern culinary traditions. However, fried falafel may be higher in calories and fat, so moderation is key for weight-conscious diets.
