About Foul medammes

Foul Medammes is a traditional Middle Eastern and North African dish made from boiled fava beans, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a variety of spices. Often served as a hearty breakfast or protein-packed appetizer, it is a staple in countries like Egypt, Lebanon, and Sudan. This dish is celebrated for its nutritional benefits, being rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and iron. The inclusion of olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while lemon juice and garlic enhance the flavor without adding unhealthy ingredients. Traditionally paired with flatbread or vegetables, it offers a satisfying and nourishing option for those seeking balanced meals. However, its sodium content can be influenced by the amount of salt added during preparation, so mindful seasoning is key for maintaining its healthfulness.
