Description

Falafel mix is a powdered preparation containing a combination of essential ingredients for making falafel quickly and easily. Falafel is a fried croquette or meatball originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, especially popular in countries such as Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, and Syria. It is traditionally made with ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with herbs and aromatic spices.

Falafel mix typically includes ingredients such as chickpea flour, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, cilantro, dehydrated parsley, baking soda, and salt, among others. This combination allows for the preparation of the ideal dough for frying or baking falafel, preserving all the authentic flavor without the need to measure or combine individual spices.

Origin: Falafel has its roots in Middle Eastern cuisine and is considered a traditional food in Arab countries and Israel. Thanks to its growing popularity worldwide, the prepared mix makes it easy to prepare in any region.

Properties: Falafel mix is an important source of plant-based protein due to the chickpeas or fava beans, in addition to providing fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron and magnesium. It is a nutritious and vegetarian option, ideal for balanced and vegan diets.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different regions, although the term falafel is more common, this mix may be known as falafel pre-mix, chickpea croquette mix, or simply falafel mixture.
