Mansaf is a traditional Jordanian dish and a hallmark of Levantine cuisine. Its main ingredients include lamb or beef cooked in a fermented dried yogurt sauce called "jameed," served over a bed of rice and garnished with toasted nuts and parsley. This rich and hearty dish is often accompanied by flatbread and is renowned for its deep, tangy flavors. Mansaf is high in protein from the meat, and it offers essential nutrients like calcium from the jameed. However, it is also calorie-dense due to the fatty meat, oil, and rice. Additionally, it can be high in sodium, depending on the preparation. While Mansaf is a celebration of Jordanian heritage and a cultural staple for communal gatherings, moderating portion sizes and balancing it with fresh vegetables can help make it a healthier choice.
