About Curtido

Curtido is a traditional Salvadoran fermented cabbage slaw, often served as a tangy topping for pupusas. Similar to sauerkraut or kimchi, it typically includes finely shredded cabbage, carrots, onion, oregano, and a vinegar-based brine. Its vibrant flavor comes from the fermentation process, offering a balance of sour and savory notes with a crisp texture. Curtido is rich in probiotics, which support gut health and digestion, and contains vitamins like Vitamin C and K, as well as antioxidants from fresh vegetables. Low in calories and fat, it makes a healthy addition to various dishes. However, the sodium content from the added salt can be higher due to the brine, so moderation is key for those monitoring their salt intake. Originating in El Salvador, curtido is an iconic staple of Central American cuisine, celebrating bold flavors with simple, nutritious ingredients.
