The Vegan Falafel Wrap with spicy hummus has a rich history rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine. Originating in Egypt, falafel is a popular street food made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with herbs and spices, then deep-fried to perfection.

Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized this dish, incorporating their own unique twists.
