Broa is a traditional cornbread originating from Portugal, often enjoyed as a staple of Portuguese cuisine. Made primarily from cornmeal, wheat flour, and occasionally rye flour, it has a dense, rustic texture and a slightly sweet, earthy flavor. Broa is frequently baked in round loaf shapes, with a hearty crust that complements its soft interior. This bread is rich in carbohydrates, making it a reliable source of energy, and contains dietary fiber, which can support digestive health. However, it is relatively low in protein and fat, and its nutritional profile can vary based on the specific recipe or additional ingredients used. Broa is often served alongside soups, stews, or as a standalone snack. While it is a comforting and versatile choice, it is best consumed in moderation, particularly for individuals monitoring their carbohydrate intake.
