Toom, also known as Lebanese garlic sauce, is a creamy, flavorful condiment originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. Traditionally made with garlic, oil, lemon juice, and salt, Toom is whipped into a fluffy emulsion without dairy or eggs. Packed with the bold flavor of raw garlic, it serves as a versatile accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and fresh breads. Its ingredients offer some health benefits: garlic is known for its antimicrobial properties and may support heart health, while lemon juice provides vitamin C and a refreshing brightness. However, Toom is high in fat due to its oil content, making it calorie-dense when consumed in large quantities. Moderation is key to enjoying its robust flavor and potential health perks without overindulging. Loved for its rich texture and zesty punch, Toom is a staple in Lebanese kitchens and a favorite among garlic enthusiasts worldwide.
