Arepas one of my favorite foods

 The arepa is a typical Venezuelan food that is made from dried, ground corn dough or precooked cornmeal. Its preparation is very simple, you have to follow the following steps.

1. Mix the cornmeal (from the arepa) with water and salt

2. The circular shapes and sizes that one wants to consume are made

3. They are placed on a griddle over medium heat where they are turned over and over again for cooking

After the arepa is cooked, it is opened in half and filled with whatever one wants, normally it is consumed with cheese, ham, shredded meat, ground meat, avocado, homemade sauces, among many other things.

I like it a lot because I have been eating this food since I was very little, I eat it approximately 3 times a week. I also like it a lot for its flavors and the varieties with which one can eat them.

It is a very healthy food, it is very good for celiacs since it is made from corn and is gluten-free, but arepas can be part of a healthy diet if healthy ingredients and fillings are chosen, portion sizes are controlled and they are Avoid excess unhealthy fats. As with any meal, the key is to maintain balance and variety in the overall diet.
