About Crab empanada
Crab empanadas are a delicious hand-held pastry originating from Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in coastal regions. These savory treats feature a flaky, golden-brown dough filled with a rich mixture of crab meat, herbs, spices, and often vegetables like onions and peppers. Packed with protein from the crab, they provide essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, the empanada dough is typically made with refined flour and may also contain high-fat ingredients like butter, making it less healthy in terms of carbohydrates and saturated fats. Crab empanadas can be baked for a lighter option or deep-fried for a more indulgent texture. They are often enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or light entrée, delivering a flavorful combination of seafood and spices that makes them a delightful addition to any spread.
