About Corn arepa
Corn arepa is a traditional staple from Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Colombia and Venezuela. Made from ground or pre-cooked corn flour, water, and sometimes a pinch of salt, this versatile flatbread is grilled, baked, or fried, creating a crispy exterior with a soft, tender inside. Arepas are commonly served stuffed or topped with ingredients like cheese, avocado, or meat, making them adaptable to a variety of diets. Rich in carbohydrates, they provide a quick source of energy, and using whole corn flour preserves fiber and nutrients. While naturally gluten-free and low in sugar, their healthfulness depends on preparation—fried versions and those with heavy fillings can add saturated fats and calories. Corn arepas are a fulfilling option for those seeking a taste of authentic Latin flavors with potential for balanced, nutrient-rich modifications.
