About Arepas colombianas
Arepas Colombianas are a staple of Colombian cuisine, showcasing a rich cultural heritage through their simplicity and flavor. Made primarily from cornmeal, water, and salt, these round, golden discs can be grilled, baked, or fried, offering versatile preparation options. They can be enjoyed plain or stuffed with various fillings like cheese, meats, eggs, or avocado. Arepas are naturally gluten-free and a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy. When made with whole ingredients and minimal oil, they can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet. Cornmeal offers fiber, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. However, fried versions or those loaded with high-fat fillings can increase calorie and saturated fat content. Arepas are celebrated for their adaptability and cultural significance, making them a beloved and comforting dish in Colombian households and beyond.
