We don’t feel awful about saying that these falafels are out of this world. You might be thinking, “Chick, please, how can those falafels be the best?” Too many puns within the intro of this recipe? Good! These falafels are crunchy, herbaceous, and come together in a matter of minutes. You just need the power of a food processor and the heat of an oven and you can create an authentic falafel!

There are people who only make falafels from dry chickpeas, and then there are some who use canned chickpeas. The main difference is that you have to soak dry chickpeas for about 24 hours in order to soften them enough for blending. Canned chickpeas are already cooked, so you just need to pat them dry before blending. The drying step is integral to the success of your falafel dough. Falafel dough that is too moist will not crisp well or lose shape in the oven. As you’ll see in the ingredient list, there is very little liquid for that reason. The lemon juice is more for flavor than a blending agent.

If you feel that your falafel dough is too moist, you can add a tablespoon of flour at a time, mixing it into the dough to bind and thicken it. Lastly, you want to make sure that you don’t over-bake the falafels. Nobody wants dry, crumbly falafels, so keep an eye on them during the baking process. A little more softness in the center is what you want, so just keep that in mind.

What is zhoug sauce? It’s about to become your latest condiment obsession. Zhoug is a popular sauce in Middle Eastern cuisine that has incredible depth of flavor. The base is cilantro, but it includes green chili, cumin, garlic, fresh lemon juice, chili flakes, and for. Is your mouth watering yet? Are you ready to drizzle this sauce on everything you make? Well, maybe not your morning chia pudding or afternoon smoothie.

How is this sauce applicable to the raw vegan diet? Well, you can dip raw carrot, celery, or bell pepper sticks into it, or you can thin it out with more olive oil and use it as a salad dressing. If you make our raw falafel recipe, you can use it on those as well. You can also enjoy this sauce after you finish cleansing. Zhoug is truly a unique sauce that we hope you enjoy.

Much healthier than deep-fried falafels, these raw falafels take minimal time in the dehydrator. These nutritious bombs of flavor are truly made better by the lemon garlic aioli, so make sure to dip the falafels in the aioli. You’ll thank us later.

Let your garlic breath be loud and proud because April 19^th is National Garlic Day! Although the origin of this day remains a mystery, we are overjoyed that there is a day to honor the magical, pungent little clove. What you should do to celebrate all that garlicky goodness is head to the kitchen and cook up a garlic feast!

Garlic can do some amazing things and we want to share what it can do with you!

Keeps You Warm

Although you may not want your breath to smell like garlic, it is certainly a powerful, immune-boosting herb with antibacterial and antiviral properties. Garlic is a natural vasoldilator, which means that it helps to widen blood vessels and prevents blood cells from clumping. In case you were wondering what else garlic does, it works to improve the health of your heart and lowers glucose metabolism in those with diabetes.

Helps With Ear Infections

This may sound a little odd, but putting a few drops of garlic oil (or an entire garlic clove) in your ear is a great natural remedy.  The compounds in garlic help to attack the bacteria or virus in the inner ear, while the antiseptic properties of garlic work to inhibit the infection from spreading.

Aids Digestion

Garlic has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, and it acts as a prebiotic, which helps to nourish beneficial gut bacteria. It also helps to cleanse the colon, making it an overall digestive helper.

Helps To Kill Parasites

Garlic has been known to treat intestinal parasites for quite some time. It works to kill harmful microorganisms and encourages the removal of heavy metals from the body.

Gets You Goin

Garlic may seem like an odd food to be on an aphrodisiac list because it has a lasting effect on your breath. If you both eat it, though, there won’t be any problems! Ancient Egyptian priests were actually forbidden to eat garlic because they feared that they wouldn’t be able to control their desires. Allicin, known for lowering cholesterol, helps to increase blood flow.
