Arepa de Yuca is a delightful variation of the traditional arepa, rooted in Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Colombian and Venezuelan households. Made primarily from yuca (cassava), the dough is blended with salt and water, and sometimes cheese or egg, before being shaped into discs and grilled or fried. Yuca provides a gluten-free alternative to corn-based arepas and is rich in carbohydrates, offering a source of quick energy. It also contains fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, supporting digestive health and immune function. While its traditional preparation is relatively simple and nutritious, frying can increase calorie and fat content, making baked or grilled versions a healthier choice. Often enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or even stuffed with savory fillings, Arepa de Yuca showcases the versatility and richness of Latin American culinary traditions.
