Falafel is a vegetarian dish from the Middle East in the shape of balls. It is made from soaked and ground chickpeas mixed with herbs, spices, and often also flour to achieve the right consistency. The mixture is then shaped into small balls or patties and usually fried to achieve a crispy outer crust.
We’ve made things easy for you and prepared an instant falafel mix so you can enjoy the taste of Arabia in just 10 minutes.
What would a traditional falafel be without chickpeas? In our mix, chickpeas make up more than half of the content, which is a legume rich in plant-based protein and fiber. The rest consists of other ingredients such as rice or amaranth, complementing the nutritional and flavor profile of the balls. They are seasoned with a masterfully selected combination of spices, making your homemade falafel taste just like in an Arabic restaurant.
Vilgain Falafel Mix is a naturally vegan blend with not a single grain of gluten or genetically modified ingredients. Thanks to extrusion processing, the mix is instant, so you don’t need to soak it in advance or process it for a long time. Extrusion also increases the availability of nutrients in the food and reduces the content of antinutritional substances, which can further improve the digestibility and absorption of protein and other nutrients.
From one pack (200 g), you can prepare about 20 falafel balls, which makes 2–4 servings. It depends on whether you’re having falafel as a main dish or just as a part (for example, in a salad). It tastes great in pita bread, with yogurt sauce or hummus, sesame paste, vegetables, etc. Preparation is extremely quick and easy.
