About Food item
Falafel is a popular Middle Eastern dish made primarily from ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with herbs, spices, and onions before being shaped into balls or patties and fried to golden perfection. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, falafel is a satisfying vegetarian or vegan option that promotes digestive health and sustained energy. Incorporating parsley, cilantro, and garlic gives falafel its signature flavor while adding antioxidants and essential vitamins like vitamin K and vitamin C. Typically served in pita bread or over a salad, it’s complemented by tahini, hummus, or fresh vegetables for a nutrient-packed meal. While falafel boasts impressive health benefits, its deep-fried preparation can increase fat and calorie content. Opting for baked or air-fried versions is a healthier alternative. Packed with bold flavors and wholesome ingredients, falafel is a versatile dish enjoyed worldwide for its nutritional value and cultural significance.
