About Calentado
Calentado is a traditional Colombian dish renowned for its simplicity and resourcefulness. Rooted in the custom of reducing kitchen waste, this hearty meal is typically made by reheating leftover rice, beans, and meat from the previous day, often accompanied by a fried egg, avocado, arepa, or plantains. Bursting with rich flavors, calentado is both a comfort food and a reflection of Colombian culinary traditions. From a nutritional standpoint, its components can offer a balance of protein, fiber, and energy-rich carbohydrates. Beans and legumes contribute heart-healthy fiber and plant-based protein, while rice serves as a quick source of energy. However, depending on preparation, the addition of fried meats, eggs, or extra oils may increase saturated fat and calorie content. Pairing calentado with fresh vegetables or opting for lean protein can enhance its nutritional profile, making it a flexible addition to a balanced diet.
