About Arepa de maiz asada
Arepa De Maiz Asada is a traditional dish rooted in Colombian and Venezuelan cuisine, made primarily from cornmeal, water, and salt. This savory corn cake is hand-shaped into rounds and grilled to a golden-brown perfection, often boasting a slightly crispy exterior and soft, tender inside. A naturally gluten-free option, arepas are rich in complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. They are low in fat but can vary in nutritional value based on preparation and fillings, which may include cheese, meats, or vegetables. Cornmeal also offers small amounts of fiber and essential minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. While generally wholesome, the nutritional profile shifts with heavy toppings or frying methods. Arepa De Maiz Asada's simplicity and versatility make it a nourishing staple with the potential for indulgence or balance, depending on how it's enjoyed.
