Arepa Blanca
What are White Arepas?
An Arepa is a cornmeal cake, a staple in Colombian and Venezuelan cuisine, made primarily from ground maize flour. Tropical Cheese Arepa Blanca is made from 100% white corn grits. It is fat-free, cholesterol-free, and naturally gluten-free.
How to cook Arepas
Arepas are precooked. Just warm them up in a pan, and they’ll soften up. You can use butter or oil to give them a crispy outside while keeping the inside soft. They can also be grilled, baked, or fried.

What’s the difference between yellow and white arepas?
Yellow and white arepas are very similar in flavor and texture. The only difference is the type of corn used. Yellow Arepas are made with yellow corn, while White Arepas are made with white corn. Tropical offers both, so you try them yourself.
