About falafel ...
Falafel are balls of ground chickpeas and / or fava beans. They are usually served in a pita bag or wrapped in a flatbread, known as Lafa. The falafel balls are garnished with lettuce, pickled vegetables and spicy sauce and served with tahini-based sauces. Falafel balls can also be eaten singly as a snack or part of a meze.
In general, it is believed that they were first established in Egypt, where the court in the Cairo dialect is widely known as طعمية (Ta'amiya). They later became known as courts throughout the Middle East. Falafel (פלאפל) are often also regarded as the national court of Israel. The Copts of Egypt say that they had eaten the court as a meat substitute during the fasting period. The hearty buffers are now found all over the world as meat substitutes and snack stands.
Recently, the consumption of falafel has risen sharply due to the recognition of nutritional value and the rise in vegetarian and health trends. When they are made from chick peas, they are rich in protein, complex carbohydrates and fiber. Chick peas are also low in fat and low in salt and do not contain cholesterol. The main nutrients are calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, vitamin C, thiamine, pantothenic acid, vitamin B and folate. The phytochemicals contain beta-carotene. Due to the nutrient profile and the hearty, saturating taste, falafel are often recommended as part of a weight reduction. They are also rich in soluble dietary fibers known to lower blood cholesterol levels.
Falafel can also be baked to reduce the high fat content associated with frying. Although baking changes the texture and taste, it is often recommended for people with health problems such as diabetes.
