Stuffed grape leaves, known as Dolma in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, are a flavorful dish often enjoyed as an appetizer or side. They consist of grape leaves wrapped around a savory filling, typically made from rice, herbs, onion, and sometimes ground meat. Common seasonings include parsley, dill, and mint, adding a fragrant and fresh profile. Variations exist across cultures, with some recipes incorporating pine nuts or raisins for added texture and sweetness. These parcels are low in calories and high in fiber, making them a heart-healthy choice when prepared without heavy oils or sauces. Grape leaves themselves are rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and K. However, depending on the preparation, stuffed grape leaves can be high in sodium, especially when packaged or brined. Moderation is key, but they remain a wholesome and satisfying option for many balanced diets.
