Nutritional values

Chickpeas, one of the main ingredients of falafel with tahini yogurt on tortillas, are bursting with vegetable protein and digestive fiber. Edamame, not yet fully ripened soybeans, convince with blood-forming iron and bone-strengthening calcium. In addition, their isoflavones are good for hormone balance and help with menopausal symptoms.

You can get frozen edamame in Asian stores or well-stocked supermarkets. If you can't find any, you can alternatively replace the soybeans with frozen peas or broad beans.
