About Taoum sauce

Taoum sauce, often hailed as a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, is a creamy, garlicky condiment traditionally paired with dishes like shawarma, grilled meats, and vegetables. This sauce originates from Lebanon and is celebrated for its bold flavor and smooth texture. Its key ingredients include fresh garlic, oil (commonly sunflower or olive oil), lemon juice, and salt, with some variations incorporating egg whites or aquafaba for added creaminess. While Taoum is rich in flavor, its health profile depends on preparation; the use of olive oil offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while an excess of oil can contribute to high calorie content. Garlic itself is a nutritional highlight, known for its potential anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. However, due to its intense flavor and richness, Taoum is best enjoyed in moderation as a complement to balanced, whole-food-based meals.
