About Fried falafel balls
Fried Falafel Balls are a popular Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, garlic, onion, and a blend of traditional spices such as cumin and coriander. The mixture is shaped into small balls or patties and deep-fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and soft, flavorful interior. Falafel is naturally rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious choice for vegetarian and vegan diets. Chickpeas, the main ingredient, are known for supporting heart health and aiding digestion. However, because falafel is typically deep-fried, it can be high in calories and fat, which may be a concern for certain dietary preferences. For a lighter option, falafel can be baked or air-fried. Often enjoyed in pita bread or atop salads, falafel remains a versatile and beloved staple of Middle Eastern cuisine.
