SYRIA
Syria showcases a unique blend of flavors in its culinary landscape. Amid the challenges posed by the consequences of the war, currency crisis, and economic inflation in Syria, there has been a notable decrease in meat intake as people adapt to the economic challenges. While traditional diets often include meat, there is a notable shift towards embracing plant-based options as the prevailing difficulties have influenced dietary choices, leading to a reduction in meat consumption for some due to economic considerations. However, despite these challenges, the awareness of veganism remains relatively low.
Syrian cuisine offers a rich tapestry of naturally vegan dishes deeply rooted in its cultural heritage. From the iconic "Muhammara" made with roasted red peppers and walnuts to the hearty "Fattoush" salad featuring fresh vegetables and crispy bread, the Syrian table is adorned with vegan delights. Other classics include "Mujadara," a comforting dish of lentils and bulgur, and "Yalanji," grape leaves stuffed with a tantalizing mixture of rice and herbs. Savor the simplicity of "Fasolia bi Zait," a green bean stew in olive oil, or indulge in the aromatic "Hummus" and "Baba Ganoush" dips, showcasing the essence of Syrian vegan cuisine.
