About Bollo
Bollo is a traditional dish from Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Colombia and Venezuela. Made primarily from cornmeal or mashed plantains, it is commonly shaped into cylindrical forms and often filled with ingredients like cheese, meat, or fish. Some variations are cooked by steaming or boiling, which preserves their moisture and soft texture. Bollo is a rich source of carbohydrates and provides energy, making it a staple in many diets. Depending on the fillings, it can also offer protein and essential nutrients. However, certain versions may be high in saturated fats or sodium, especially if prepared with fatty meats or heavy cheeses. For a healthier option, fillings like vegetables or lean proteins can be used, and steaming is preferred over frying to lower calorie content. Bollo’s simplicity and versatility make it a delicious and adaptable dish enjoyed across generations.
