Arepa de Calabaza is a delightful twist on the traditional Venezuelan arepa, incorporating nutrient-rich pumpkin as its star ingredient. Originating from Venezuelan cuisine, this variation is made by blending pumpkin puree with precooked cornmeal, salt, and water to form a versatile dough. The result is a mildly sweet and savory flatbread that is often grilled or baked to perfection. Pumpkin, a key ingredient, is packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, promoting eye health and supporting the immune system. Arepa de Calabaza is typically stuffed with fillings such as cheese, beans, or shredded chicken, balancing indulgence with nutrition. While its high carbohydrate content makes it energy-dense, it remains low in fat and contains no added sugars. To maximize health benefits, pair it with lean proteins and fresh vegetables. This wholesome dish is a satisfying way to enjoy the flavors of Venezuelan culinary tradition.
