About Turkish meze

Turkish Meze is a diverse assortment of small dishes typically served as appetizers or side dishes in Turkish cuisine. Reflecting a rich culinary tradition, these flavorful plates often include items like creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, tangy ezme, stuffed grape leaves, yogurt-based dips, and marinated vegetables or seafood. Ingredients like olive oil, fresh herbs, legumes, and nuts are staples, contributing to their Mediterranean-inspired nutritional profile. Meze dishes are generally high in healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a wholesome addition to the diet when consumed in moderation. However, some options, such as fried items or preparations with excessive salt, may be less healthy if consumed frequently or in large quantities. Pairing meze with fresh vegetables and whole-grain sides can help balance the meal, adding even more nutritional value to this Turkish tradition.
