About Ful medames

Ful Medames is a traditional Egyptian dish made from slow-cooked fava beans, often flavored with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and spices like cumin. A staple in Middle Eastern and North African cuisines, it is typically served as a hearty breakfast or light meal, accompanied by bread, fresh vegetables, or eggs. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, Ful Medames is a nutritious choice that supports digestion, sustains energy, and promotes heart health. The addition of olive oil and garlic boosts its antioxidant content, while the lemon juice enhances iron absorption. However, be mindful of portion sizes and sodium content, especially if additional salt or pickled accompaniments are included. Low in saturated fat and free from cholesterol, Ful Medames is a versatile and healthful dish suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
