About Colombian arepa
The Colombian arepa is a traditional flatbread made primarily from cornmeal, water, and salt, often enjoyed as a staple in Colombian cuisine. With roots tracing back to Indigenous cultures, arepas are versatile and can be grilled, baked, or fried. They serve as a base or accompaniment for various toppings like cheese, avocado, meats, or beans. Nutritionally, arepas are naturally gluten-free and provide energy from their carbohydrate content. The simplicity of the ingredients makes them adaptable for different dietary needs, though their health profile depends on preparation methods and added fillings. Grilled arepas with wholesome toppings tend to be healthier options, while fried versions or those loaded with heavy cheese may be higher in fats and calories. Their cultural significance and adaptability make Colombian arepas a cherished and versatile part of Latin American gastronomy.
