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.

With Falafel Republic and a little imagination, the recipe possibilities are virtually endless.

Available in both Traditional and Roasted Garlic flavors, 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.
