Additional benefits —

One serving of falafel per 100 grams contains about 325 calories. It includes 30% carbohydrates, 15% protein, and 35% water. The rest of the volume is taken up by fats, vitamins, and minerals. Even though chickpeas – the main ingredient of falafel-are one of the healthiest foods with zero fat content and no cholesterol, almost all falafel recipes include roasting it. In other words, this dish absorbs as much oil and fat as it can. But if you are particularly concerned about healthy eating, falafel can be made healthier. To do this, instead of the usual roasting, it can be baked without using oil.

Instead of meat—A must-have food for Vegetarians

Our vegetarian menu offers several types of falafels. It's even called a vegan cutlet used in burgers and sandwiches. Falafel was used as a substitute for meat in ancient times when the inhabitants of the Middle East had to follow a special diet in honor of religious holidays. It is also almost the only alternative to meat street food like shawarma and hot dogs.

A Healthy Snack for everyone.

A standard serving of three falafel balls can provide more than a quarter of your daily fiber requirement. In addition, legumes like chickpeas can improve the function of our blood vessels. This makes falafel potentially a good way to reduce the risk of heart disease, especially if the fat content remains low during cooking.

Falafel is rich in vegetable protein, about 2 grams per ball, making it a healthy substitute for high-cholesterol meat. A standard serving of falafel contains about 350 calories. Combined with salad and pita bread, this is a low-calorie, healthy and satisfying meal.
