About Arracacha
Arracacha, also known as Peruvian parsnip, is a nutrient-rich root vegetable native to the Andes and widely used in South American cuisine. Its creamy texture and mildly sweet, nutty flavor make it a versatile ingredient, comparable to a mix of carrot, celery, and potato. Arracacha is a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestion, and contains essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and iron. These contribute to immune health, energy production, and bone strength. With a moderate calorie content and low fat, arracacha is a healthy starch option ideal for soups, purées, and baked dishes. It is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for diverse dietary needs. However, arracacha is high in carbohydrates, so portion control is recommended for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Its rich flavor and nutritional profile make it a staple ingredient in Latin American kitchens, celebrated for its wholesome qualities and culinary flexibility.
