Falafel:
✔️Falafel is a dish of Middle Eastern origin that’s especially popular among vegetarians and vegans🌱
✔️They are deep fried balls – or fritters – made from ground chickpeas and/or fava beans seasoned with onion, parsley, cumin and coriander.

The falafel balls are stuffed in a pita or wrapped in a flatbread and topped with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, pickled vegetables, hot sauce and tahini sauce.

✔️Falafel is high in many micronutrients and a good source of fiber and protein.

As such, it:
-may help curb your appetite,
- support healthy blood sugar,
- and lower your risk of chronic disease.

Yet, it’s typically deep-fried in oil, which raises its fat and calorie content.
However, baking falafel counters this issue and allows you to enjoy this dish without potentially affecting your waistline, if that’s a concern for you.
