About Kibe

Kibe, a popular dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, especially Lebanon, has gained global recognition through Brazilian gastronomy. This flavorful food is typically made from ground beef or lamb, bulgur wheat, onions, and an aromatic blend of spices like cinnamon, mint, and allspice. The mixture is often shaped into small ovals and fried, baked, or grilled, providing versatility with preparation methods. Nutritionally, kibe is a good source of protein from the meat and contains dietary fiber from bulgur wheat. Its high iron content supports healthy blood circulation. However, fried kibe can be calorie-dense and rich in saturated fats, making moderation key to enjoying it as part of a balanced diet. For a lighter alternative, baked versions reduce fat content while retaining flavor. Ideal as an appetizer or main dish, kibe embodies a perfect fusion of texture, taste, and tradition.
