About Fol medames

Ful medames is a traditional Egyptian dish made primarily from cooked fava beans, often seasoned with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and cumin, and garnished with chopped parsley or tomatoes. This protein-packed dish is a staple across the Middle East and North Africa, especially as a hearty breakfast or vegetarian-friendly option. High in fiber, it supports digestive health and provides slow-releasing energy, making it nourishing and satisfying. Olive oil adds healthy fats, while the addition of garlic and lemon boosts its vitamin and antioxidant content. However, depending on preparation, it can become calorically dense—especially if served with generous amounts of oil or alongside bread. Rich in plant-based protein, iron, and potassium, ful medames contributes to balanced nutrition, making it both wholesome and flavorful.
