About Meghli

Meghli is a traditional Lebanese dessert made primarily from rice flour, sugar, and a blend of aromatic spices like anise, caraway, and cinnamon. Often garnished with shredded coconut, almonds, and pistachios, it is typically prepared to celebrate the birth of a new baby. This pudding-like dish is dairy-free and vegan, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. Meghli is rich in fiber and antioxidants due to the spices and the nuts used as toppings, contributing to digestive health and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, it is important to note that Meghli can be high in sugar, which may not be ideal for individuals managing their blood sugar levels. Its unique flavor profile and cultural significance make Meghli a cherished dish, blending nourishment with tradition in Lebanese cuisine.
