Falafel is a fun and healthy dish, full of nutrition and flavor. This version is baked instead of fried, so it is lower in fat and easier to tolerate for those with digestive issues. The tzatziki dip has a light ginger and lemon flavor, both of which can be helpful for nausea.
Packed with Micronutrients
Falafel contains vitamins and minerals like folate, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients support various bodily functions, including bone health and energy production.
