About Corn pupusa
Corn Pupusas are traditional Salvadoran stuffed flatbreads made from masa harina, a finely ground corn flour. These hand-shaped treats are typically filled with a savory combination of ingredients, such as cheese, refried beans, or seasoned pork (commonly called "chicharrón"). Often served with curtido, a tangy cabbage slaw, and salsa roja, pupusas offer rich flavors and textures steeped in Central American culinary heritage. Nutritionally, corn pupusas are a good source of carbohydrates from the masa while providing protein from fillings like beans and cheese. They’re naturally gluten-free, making them accessible to individuals with gluten intolerance. However, pupusas can be high in calories and fat depending on the filling and preparation method, particularly if cooked with excess oil. To balance their nutritional profile, enjoy pupusas with a generous serving of curtido for added fiber and vitamins.
