About Sancocho

Sancocho is a traditional stew enjoyed across Latin America and the Caribbean, with origins tracing back to Spanish culinary influences. It typically features a hearty mix of root vegetables like yucca, plantains, and potatoes, combined with proteins such as chicken, beef, pork, or fish. Common seasonings include garlic, cilantro, and onion, which enhance its rich flavor profile. This dish is often served with rice or a squeeze of lime for added zest. Nutritionally, Sancocho is a comforting blend of fiber-rich vegetables and protein, supporting satiety and energy. However, its healthfulness can vary based on preparation methods; high sodium levels from broths or fatty cuts of meat may contribute to less favorable aspects. When made using lean proteins and reduced salt, Sancocho can serve as a balanced and nourishing meal, making it a beloved staple in many households.
