About Musakah

Musakah, a traditional Middle Eastern dish, is a flavorful blend of eggplants, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and olive oil, often enhanced with spices like cumin and fresh herbs. This vegetarian dish, popular in Lebanese and Palestinian cuisine, highlights the natural richness of its ingredients. Eggplants are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants such as nasunin, which supports brain health. Tomatoes contribute vitamin C and lycopene, which may offer heart and skin benefits. Olive oil, the primary fat in Musakah, is a source of healthy monounsaturated fats that can aid in reducing inflammation when consumed in moderation. Though nutritious, the dish can be calorie-dense depending on the amount of olive oil used. Traditionally enjoyed warm or at room temperature, Musakah is a wholesome choice that caters to plant-based diets and celebrates the essence of Mediterranean flavors.
