Out of all the ethnic middle-eastern dishes out there, one of the most popular around the world is none other than falafel. If you’ve never had this tasty delicacy, you’re in for quite the treat. Although it’s popular in countries such as Israel and Lebanon, you can find it all around the world, especially in continents such as North America or Europe. Here’s all you need to know about this culinary delight.

It Can Be Pretty Healthy (Sort Of)

When you observe the core ingredients of falafel, you’d be surprised just how healthy it seems. Comprised of chickpeas, fresh herbs, and a unique blend of spices, falafel is an organic, vegan dish. These ingredients are rolled together into a nice little ball and subsequently fried in a deep fryer. So although its ingredients are healthy, it’s important to mention that the common way of cooking it isn’t.

Heavenly Taste

However, while there are ways to cook falafel that don’t involve frying, it’s truly a heavenly delight when you do. The crispiness of a steaming hot, fresh falafel right out of the deep fryer is second to none. Once it’s ready, you can add it to a pita along with some tahini, parsley, french fries, Israeli salad, and whatever else you like. After you’ve tasted it, you’ll never go back!
