Are you curious about trying Venezuelan food but unsure where to start?


Peter's Panas, the top Venezuelan restaurant in London, is here to help. In this blog post, we'll answer some common questions about arepas and cachapas, two iconic Venezuelan dishes that have captivated taste buds around the world. Join us as we explore why people love arepas, the difference between arepas and cachapas, what they're made of, and if they can be part of a healthy diet.



Why Do People Eat Arepas?


Arepas have been a staple in Venezuelan cuisine for centuries, dating back to the indigenous people of the region. Their popularity stems from their versatility, delicious taste, and the ability to enjoy them at any time of day. At Peter's Panas, we pride ourselves on serving the most authentic arepas in London, with a variety of fillings to satisfy every craving.



What Is the Difference Between Arepas and Cachapas?


While both arepas and cachapas are popular Venezuelan dishes, they have some key differences. Arepas are round, flat cornmeal patties that are often split open and filled with a variety of ingredients like shredded beef, chicken, cheese, or vegetables. They can be grilled, baked, or fried.


On the other hand, cachapas are thick, pancake-like creations made from fresh corn dough. They are usually folded in half and filled with soft, white cheese known as "queso de mano." Cachapas are typically cooked on a griddle, giving them a slightly sweet taste and a unique texture.


What Are Arepas Made Of?


Arepas are primarily made of a special pre-cooked cornmeal called "masa de arepa" or "masarepa." This cornmeal is mixed with water and a pinch of salt to create a dough, which is then shaped into patties and cooked. The pre-cooked cornmeal ensures a soft and fluffy texture, which is one of the reasons arepas have become a beloved dish at Peter's Panas, the go-to Venezuelan restaurant in London.





Can Arepas Be Healthy?


Yes, arepas can be part of a healthy diet, depending on the ingredients used and the cooking method. By using whole grain cornmeal, limiting oil during cooking, and choosing nutritious fillings, you can create a well-balanced meal. At Peter's Panas, we offer a variety of healthy and delicious options, such as vegetarian fillings and arepas, catering to different dietary preferences.


Now that you know more about the wonderful world of arepas and cachapas, it's time to taste these delightful Venezuelan dishes for yourself. Head over to Peter's Panas, London's premier Venezuelan restaurant, and let your taste buds explore the rich and flavorful cuisine of Venezuela. And don't forget to share your favorite dishes with us on social media using the hashtag #PetersPanasLondon. ¡Buen provecho!
