About Arepa with butter

Arepa with butter is a simple and delicious dish rooted in Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Colombia and Venezuela. The arepa, a round, flat patty made from cornmeal, water, and salt, is grilled or baked to perfection. Topping it with a smear of butter enhances its natural flavor and adds a creamy texture. Arepas are naturally gluten-free, making them a great option for those with gluten sensitivities. They are a good source of energy due to their carbohydrate content and provide a moderate amount of fiber, depending on the type of cornmeal used. However, the butter adds saturated fat, so portion control is key for those monitoring their fat intake. Perfect as a snack, side, or light breakfast, this wholesome dish reflects the comforting and diverse flavors of its origins in Latin American culinary traditions.
