Knorr Kosher Falafel Mix Mediterranean Style

Friday Food Talk

The demand for kosher food is growing strongly among non-Jewish shoppers as well as unorthodox American Jewish shoppers. For the uninitiated, kosher refers to a set of dietary requirements that are in accordance with Jewish law.  

The reason can be traced to its "appeal to a more health-conscious consumer”, as Menachem Lubinsky, Chief Executive of Event Organizer of Lubicom Marketing Consulting, a pioneer advocate of the kosher food industry, says. 

Knorr’s mediterranean style Kosher Falafel Mix appeals to this health-conscious clientele with a flair for authenticity- both in flavor as well as texture. This quick and easy to make falafel mix is rich in herbs and spices and is our product being rated today.

Dietitian Nutritionist Recommendation: This food can be safely consumed as a part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. But it should be consumed with caution within its serving size and your daily caloric and nutrient needs. Overdoing it can easily cross your daily sodium, fat, and caloric limits while making you deficient in other nutrients your body needs. In general, you should eat foods high in protein, fiber, and other vitamins and rich in health-promoting vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, etc., and keep them low in added sugars, salt, and fats.  

*Current dietary guidelines for Americans suggest that people aged 2 and older should get 14 grams of fiber for every 1000 calories consumed.  

As no one food is perfect you need to include foods from all food groups on a generally healthy diet (whole grains, whole fruits, vegetables, lean meats, eggs, fish, beans, legumes, lentils, and low-fat dairy) with minimally added sugar, fat, salt and other food additives.
