About Falafel sandwich
A falafel sandwich is a popular Middle Eastern dish celebrated for its vibrant flavors and satisfying texture. It typically consists of crispy, golden-brown falafel balls made from ground chickpeas or fava beans blended with fresh herbs, garlic, and spices. These are nestled inside warm pita bread and commonly garnished with fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions, then topped with creamy tahini sauce or tangy yogurt-based dressings. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, this sandwich is often praised for its plant-based protein and fiber content from the chickpeas, making it a hearty vegetarian option. However, the healthiness can vary depending on preparation—falafel is traditionally deep-fried, which increases its calorie and fat content. Opting for baked falafel or loading up on fresh, nutrient-rich toppings can help make this dish a more wholesome choice.
