About Falafel with houmous

Falafel with houmous is a popular Middle Eastern dish known for its rich flavors and satisfying texture. Falafel, made from ground chickpeas or fava beans mixed with herbs, onion, and spices, is shaped into balls or patties and fried until crispy. Paired with houmous, a creamy dip made from blended chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic, this combination offers a hearty, plant-based option packed with nutrients. Typically served in a pita or alongside fresh vegetables, it is a high-fiber and protein-rich meal. Chickpeas are a great source of folate, iron, and magnesium, promoting energy and heart health. However, the deep-fried preparation of falafel can increase calorie and fat content, making baked alternatives a healthier choice. Houmous provides healthy fats from tahini but should be enjoyed in moderation due to calorie density. Together, falafel with houmous is a flavorful and nutritious dish suited for a balanced diet.
