A Tablespoon of Causa, a traditional Peruvian dish, combines layers of seasoned mashed potatoes with vibrant fillings like avocado, shredded chicken, seafood, or vegetables. The base is typically flavored with lime juice and ají amarillo, a mildly spicy Peruvian chili, giving it a tangy and subtly piquant profile. Rich in carbohydrates from the potatoes and healthy fats from creamy avocado, Causa provides energy and essential nutrients. When paired with lean proteins such as chicken or fish, it offers a balanced blend of macronutrients. However, depending on preparation, it may include mayonnaise or oils, which can increase calorie and fat content, making portion control important. Packed with vitamins such as vitamin C from lime and antioxidants from ají amarillo, Causa represents the vibrant and nourishing essence of Peruvian cuisine.
