Franklin Farms - Falafel Balls, 9oz | Pack of 6

Falafel balls are a popular Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas (or sometimes fava beans), herbs, and spices. They are typically formed into small balls or patties and then deep-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Falafel is often served in pita bread or on a platter with salads, tahini sauce, or other accompaniments.

2. Onion: Adds flavor and moisture to the falafel mixture.
3. Garlic: Enhances the flavor of the falafel.
4. Fresh Herbs: Commonly used herbs include parsley, cilantro, and sometimes mint, providing freshness and aroma.
5. Spices: Typical spices include ground cumin, coriander, and sometimes cayenne pepper or paprika for heat.
6. Baking Powder: Helps the falafel balls become light and fluffy when fried.
