About FALAFEL
Good & Gather Falafel is a refrigerated or frozen plant-based appetizer from Target's Good & Gather line, made from cooked chickpeas, chickpea flour, onion, expeller-pressed sunflower or canola oil, sesame seeds, spices, sea salt, baking soda, garlic, cream of tartar, garlic powder, and tahini sauce. This is a clean, whole-food-forward ingredient list with no artificial flavors, artificial colors, or preservatives.
Sesame seeds are a top-nine allergen under the FASTER Act (enacted January 2023), and they appear here both as a direct ingredient and within the tahini sauce (which is made from sesame seeds, water, lemon juice concentrate, salt, and garlic powder). Individuals with sesame allergies must avoid this product. The oil is expeller-pressed, indicating a mechanical extraction method rather than chemical solvent processing, which some consumers prefer for a less refined fat profile. No gluten-containing ingredients are present, making this potentially suitable for gluten-free diets, though cross-contamination risk would need to be verified. Dairy and eggs are absent.
At 271 calories per 100g, with 9.38g of protein, 15.62g of fat, 25g of carbohydrates, and a notable 5.2g of dietary fiber per 100g, this falafel is a nutritionally substantial plant-based food. The combination of chickpeas and sesame creates a near-complete amino acid profile, and the fiber content supports digestive health.
Good & Gather Falafel is suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets (no animal products beyond potential cross-contamination). It can be served in pita wraps with hummus and vegetables, over grain bowls, or as a party appetizer with tahini dipping sauce. The included tahini sauce adds authentic Middle Eastern flavor.
