About Sofrito

Sofrito is a flavorful cooking base commonly used in Latin American, Spanish, and Caribbean cuisines. Made from a blend of aromatic ingredients, traditional sofrito typically includes onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro, sautéed in olive oil or another fat. Variations in recipes reflect regional differences, with some versions incorporating spices like paprika or herbs such as oregano. Rich in vegetables and herbs, sofrito provides essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a nutrient-dense addition to meals. It's often used to enhance the flavor of soups, stews, rice dishes, and beans. While its vegetable components are healthy, the nutritional profile can vary based on the amount of oil or salt used in preparation. Opting for moderate oil amounts and fresh ingredients can help maximize its health benefits while keeping it a delicious and wholesome part of any dish.
