About Kibbe

Kibbe is a traditional Middle Eastern dish, renowned for its distinctive combination of flavors and textures. Typically made with bulgur wheat, ground meat (usually lamb or beef), onions, and a blend of warming spices like cinnamon and allspice, kibbe can be baked, fried, or served raw depending on the variation. Its origin is rooted in Levantine cuisine, with countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq offering their own regional interpretations. Nutritionally, kibbe can be a good source of protein from the meat and fiber from the bulgur wheat. Spices used in kibbe also provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, fried kibbe varieties may add extra calories and saturated fat. For a lighter option, baked or raw kibbe tends to be lower in fat. Combining kibbe with a fresh salad or yogurt-based dip can make it a balanced and nourishing meal.
