Arepa Blanca

Tortillas & Arepas The Flavor of South America

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.

How to eat Arepas

Arepas are like a blank canvas; you can top them with your favorite ingredients. Try Tropical Quesito Colombiano for a simple, traditional version any time of day. You can also add eggs, avocado, and cheese for a brunch twist, or beans, any type of meat, or sauté veggies for lunch.

Arepas are part of the classic Colombian breakfast, along with eggs, rice, beans, and cheese. You can also try them in these delicious Arepas with Chorizo and Poached Egg, or include them in your Cheese and Charcuterie Board. In Colombia, arepas are enjoyed in multiple ways at any time of the day; as a snack, a side dish, or the main course.

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.

Explore the wide variety of Tropical Arepas: White or Yellow Arepas, Arepas de Choclo, Cassava Arepas, and Arepas with Cheese.
