Falafel Republic Brings Fresh Falafel Home

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--As America’s fascination with authentic ethnic foods continues to grow, Falafel Republic proudly introduces fresh, fully-cooked falafel in two savory flavors: Traditional and Roasted Garlic. Based on traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, Falafel Republic is a wholesome vegetarian blend of chickpeas, fava beans, onions, and exotic spices. This protein-rich product, once considered “the secret of the pharaohs,” appeals to those seeking new taste experiences as well as vegetarians and gluten-sensitive consumers. Showcasing at the International Dairy Deli Bakery in Houston, Texas on June 6-8, Falafel Republic is available for distribution nationwide.

“We’re excited to bring consumers a simple yet delicious, time-tested recipe not normally available in grocery stores”

“We’re excited to bring consumers a simple yet delicious, time-tested recipe not normally available in grocery stores,” said Greg Bukuras, founder of Falafel Republic. “While falafel may be a new food to some, it is believed to have originated some 4000 years ago,” he added.

Falafel is a wonderfully versatile food that can be eaten as a snack, on-the-go, as an appetizer, as part of a Mediterranean “meze” plate, or enjoyed as the highlight of a lunch or dinner. Falafel Republic can easily be heated in a conventional or microwave oven and then served in a pita pocket with tzatziki or tahini sauce, or even with eggs and hollandaise sauce! With Falafel Republic and a little imagination, the recipe possibilities are virtually endless.

The retail pack contains nine 1 ounce falafel balls with a suggested retail price of $5.99, designed to be displayed in the deli section alongside hummus and other Mediterranean products.

Visit Falafel Republic at the IDDBA, booth #4453.

Humble falafel – the secret of the pharaohs and the faithful food of the Mediterranean and Middle East – is now shared with the whole world, an egalitarian feast for all humankind everywhere.
