Arepas are a corn dish made in Venezuela,
Colombia and a few other Caribbean countries. In Venezuela, arepas
are eaten for breakfast or dinner, served with a wide
array of fillings. Arepas are soft, salty and eaten while they're hot
(cold arepas taste terribly). They are very filling, with relative low
calories, low glycemic index and no gluten. Venezuelans eat arepas
almost everyday (me included) and they're deeply ingrained in our culture.
