Falafel

Falafel is a plant‑based, one‑dish meal classified under the Composite foods group. It carries a Nutri‑Score of A and, due to its formulation as a packaged ready‑to‑eat item, falls into the NOVA‑4 ultra‑processed category; the product offers relatively high protein (9.7 g) and dietary fibre (7.3 g) per 100 g, while containing 11 g of fat and 260 kcal, which makes its energy density notable. Overall, the falafel provides a good source of protein and fibre with low sugars and salt, but its elevated fat and calorie content may limit suitability for low‑energy diets.
