About Small falafel
Small falafel is a popular Middle Eastern dish made from a blend of ground chickpeas or fava beans, fresh herbs, garlic, and spices like cumin and coriander. Shaped into bite-sized patties or balls, it is traditionally deep-fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior with a soft, flavorful interior. Falafel is typically served as part of a meal, often in pita bread with fresh vegetables, tahini sauce, or hummus. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, falafel is a satisfying vegetarian option that supports digestion and helps maintain energy levels. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, folate, and manganese. However, its deep-fried preparation can increase calorie and fat content, which should be considered if consuming in large amounts or as part of a high-fat diet. For a lighter option, baking or air-frying can reduce its fat content while retaining its delicious taste and texture.
