An interesting new article on the Meze Grill Blog talks about how New York City vegetarians and vegans are increasingly making falafel their chosen food when eating on the go. The article outlines five specific health benefits of the chickpea containing falafel that vegetarians, vegans, and healthy food lovers appreciate:
- Proteins
- Right Fats over Wrong Fats
- Fiber
- Vitamins & Minerals
- No Sugar
According to the article, New York City has become “the capital of falafel for the Western Hemisphere.” Falafel has given vegetarians and vegans a much-needed option in a food environment that necessitates eating out and eating fast. Most interesting of all, even meat-eaters are choosing falafel over other dishes.
