About Empenada
Empanadas are a popular dish originating from Spanish and Latin American cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or main course. They are savory pastries typically made by enclosing a thin, flaky dough around a filling that varies by region and recipe. Common fillings include seasoned meats like beef or chicken, vegetables, cheese, beans, or seafood. While empanadas are flavorful and satisfying, their nutritional aspects depend heavily on preparation and ingredients. Baked empanadas tend to be healthier than fried versions, as they are lower in fat. They can offer a good source of protein and fiber when filled with lean meats, beans, or vegetables. On the downside, empanadas made with refined flour and fried oils may be higher in carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and calories. Choosing whole-grain doughs, baking methods, and nutrient-rich fillings can make this versatile dish a more wholesome option.
