About Restaurant, Latino, arepa (unleavened cornmeal bread)
The arepa is a round, unleavened cornmeal cake eaten across Venezuela and Colombia, griddled or baked until the outside is firm and the inside stays soft. Plain or split and stuffed with cheese, meat or beans, it functions much like bread does elsewhere — the everyday carbohydrate that anchors a meal.
At about 219 calories per 100 grams, an arepa is firmly carbohydrate-forward: roughly 37 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams, with very little sugar (under 1 gram) and a useful 2.6 grams of fiber from the corn. Protein is modest at around 5.5 grams and fat is around 5 grams, much of it depending on how the arepa is cooked or filled. Sodium is moderate near 270 milligrams per 100 grams, and cholesterol is low at about 5 milligrams.
On its own a plain arepa is a wholesome corn-based bread; what it's filled with is what shifts the nutrition. Choosing leaner fillings like grilled chicken, beans or fresh cheese, and watching the portion the way you would with any bread, keeps the arepa a satisfying base rather than a calorie-heavy one.
