Meze is a flavorful assortment of small dishes originating from Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Balkan cuisines. Typically served as an appetizer or shared platter, meze includes a variety of items such as hummus, tzatziki, tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, olives, cheeses, and grilled meats or seafood. Often paired with flatbreads or pita, it emphasizes fresh, wholesome ingredients like vegetables, legumes, olive oil, herbs, and lean proteins. Meze’s healthfulness depends on the components—many options are high in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and essential nutrients, making it a balanced choice. However, it can also include fried items or cheeses higher in saturated fat, so moderation is key. Its origins reflect communal dining traditions, celebrating vibrant flavors and cultural heritage through diverse, nutrient-rich foods that cater to various preferences and dietary needs.
