What are the main benefits of falafel

The main benefit of falafel is its nutritional value. It is based on legumes, so there is more than enough vegetable protein in there.

At the same time, fried chickpea balls do not cause the heaviness that occurs after eating meat dishes.

What should falafel be like

If the oil is old, the falafel will be black. At high temperatures, the falafel will also become covered with a dark crust, and the inside will remain uncooked, which is bad.

A large amount of herbs or spices - the falafel will burn quickly. Ideally, the falafel ball should remain golden brown.

How long can falafel be stored in the refrigerator

Ready falafel can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days; it is also delicious cold.
