Falafel: Crispy Bites of Middle Eastern Tradition
Falafel is a popular Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with herbs, onions, garlic, and spices like cumin and coriander. The mixture is formed into small patties or balls and deep-fried until crispy on the outside and soft inside. Falafel is traditionally served in pita bread or wrapped in flatbread, often accompanied by fresh vegetables, pickles, and creamy tahini or hummus. It's a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets due to its plant-based protein and rich flavor. Though its origins are debated—claimed by Egypt, Israel, and Lebanon—falafel has become a beloved street food worldwide. It’s not only tasty but also nutritious, high in fiber, and packed with vitamins and minerals. Today, you can find falafel in countless variations, including baked versions and colorful twists using beetroot or herbs. Whether as a snack, wrap, or salad topping, falafel offers a satisfying and flavorful bite.
