About Emanada
Empanadas are savory pastries originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisine, with variations found across the globe. Typically, empanadas consist of a dough pocket filled with a mixture of ingredients, such as spiced meats, vegetables, cheese, or seafood, depending on regional preferences. The dough is often made from wheat flour and can be baked or fried, the latter resulting in a richer and more calorie-dense option. While empanadas provide a good source of protein and nutrients from their fillings, their healthiness largely depends on preparation methods. Baked empanadas are lower in fat compared to their fried counterparts, and fillings rich in vegetables or lean proteins can enhance their nutritional profile. However, they may contain refined carbs and high levels of sodium depending on the recipe. Moderation and ingredient selection are key to enjoying this flavorful and versatile dish while maintaining balanced nutrition.
