What is the approximate weight in kilograms of the largest falafel ball? The answer is 101.5 kilograms.
The current Guinness World Records holder for largest falafel weighs 101.5 kilograms, or approximately 224 pounds. Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa produced the record-setting falafel in Jordan.
The giant falafel was achieved on 31 May 2019 and required an unusually large cooking process. Guinness reports that it took approximately 45 minutes to cook.
An earlier record was set in Amman in 2012, when chefs prepared a 74.75-kilogram falafel. That earlier achievement may explain why older trivia sources give a different figure. The stored 114.5-kilogram answer does not match the documented record.
