About Papusa
Pupusa, a traditional Salvadoran dish, is a thick, hand-made corn tortilla stuffed with a variety of savory fillings such as cheese, refried beans, pork (chicharrón), or a blend of vegetables. Originating from El Salvador’s indigenous cooking traditions, pupusas are typically served with curtido, a tangy cabbage slaw, and a mild tomato sauce. Nutritiously, pupusas provide carbohydrates from the masa harina (corn flour) and protein from fillings like beans or meat. They are a good source of energy but can be high in calories and fats, especially when filled with cheese and fried pork. Curtido enhances the meal’s nutritional profile by adding fiber and probiotics from its fermented components. While delicious and satisfying, moderation is key, as pupusas may contain considerable amounts of sodium depending on preparation methods.
