Toum is a traditional Lebanese garlic sauce known for its bold flavor and creamy texture. Made with just a few simple ingredients—fresh garlic, oil, lemon juice, and salt—it embodies the essence of Middle Eastern cuisine. This versatile condiment is commonly paired with grilled meats, falafel, vegetables, and pita bread, adding a punch of flavor to many dishes. While Toum is naturally dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free, it is rich in heart-healthy fats from the oil used in its emulsification. Garlic, the star ingredient, is celebrated for its antioxidant properties and potential benefits for heart health and immune function. However, Toum is calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those watching their intake. Its robust flavor and nutritional elements make it a beloved addition to both traditional and modern meals.
