But the falafels themselves are vegan.

                            Falafel is high in many micronutrients and a good source of fiber and protein. As such, it may help curb your appetite, support healthy blood sugar, and lower your risk of chronic disease. Yet, it's typically deep-fried in oil, which raises its fat and calorie content.

                            Middle Eastern vendors often serve falafel with hummus and tahini sauce, which is known as a "falafel plate". In Israel, the falafel is often named as the country's national dish and the sauce of choice is Tahini (it's a mixture of tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, and water).
