About Foul medames

Foul Medames is a traditional Middle Eastern and North African dish, originating from Egypt. It consists of slow-cooked fava beans, typically seasoned with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and spices like cumin. Often served as a hearty breakfast or light meal, it is accompanied by pita bread, fresh vegetables, or hard-boiled eggs. Foul Medames is rich in plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate, making it a nutrient-dense option that supports digestive health, sustained energy, and muscle repair. The olive oil and lemon juice add heart-healthy fats and vitamin C. However, its nutritional value depends on preparation; adding excessive oil or salt could increase its calorie and sodium content. Low in cholesterol and versatile for vegetarian or vegan diets, Foul Medames is a wholesome choice for anyone seeking a flavorful and balanced dish with deep historical and cultural roots.
