Frequently asked questions

Is it healthy to eat daily?

It can be part of a balanced diet if you control the amount of mayo and the arepa size. It is a very complete meal.

Does it contain gluten?

Pre-cooked corn flour is naturally gluten-free, but always check the packaging for possible cross-contamination.

Can I store it once prepared?

The avocado filling tends to oxidize quickly, so it is best consumed shortly after preparation.
