About Arepas

Arepas are a versatile, round cornmeal patty originating from Colombia and Venezuela. A staple of South American cuisine, they are made from ground maize or pre-cooked cornmeal, water, and salt, with occasional additions like cheese or butter for flavor. Traditionally cooked on a griddle, baked, or fried, arepas can be enjoyed plain or split to hold fillings such as meats, beans, avocado, or cheese. Nutritionally, they are gluten-free and a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy alongside small amounts of fiber and protein depending on preparation methods or ingredients. While generally low in fat, fried varieties or those paired with rich fillings may be higher in calories and saturated fats. Overall, arepas are a customizable dish that can be part of a balanced diet when combined with nutrient-rich toppings.
