Experts in Colombian food highlight the culinary diversity of our country, which is characterized by the variety of its products and the number of interesting options when it comes to choosing what to eat. Colombia stands out for having a multiple, original and versatile seasoning, which offers a mix of colors, flavors and aromas to make any diner fall in love.
For example, the food of the Caribbean region is represented by a variety of seafood and fish. Among the main dishes you can enjoy rice with coconut and shrimp.
The Andean region is the largest in Colombia and is considered to be the region with the greatest tradition in Colombian gastronomy. Its main ingredients are potatoes in all its varieties, legumes, fresh cheese, corn and beef and pork. One of the characteristic dishes of this region of Colombia is the bandeja paisa, which is a food known for its variety of ingredients.
As for the gastronomy of the Pacific region, this is known for its African heritage. Its cuisine is characterized by biodiversity that includes products from the sea and rivers, wild fruits such as sweet potatoes and crocoroma. And herbs like basil and mint.
In the Eastern Plains, red meat, some poultry, cassava, rice and bananas predominate. One of its typical dishes is mamona, a grilled veal that is seasoned with cherry, salt and traditional herbs.
While in the Amazon Region, their meals are represented by ingredients such as cassava, fish, turtle meat, chili pepper, pineapple and chontaduro. Among its most popular preparations can be found the runny fish, a fish wrapped in plantain leaves.
With such a variety of products and flavors, it has been impossible for the country to have a single dish that represents all Colombian cuisine. For this reason, and as part of the celebration of its 75th anniversary, the Yanuba restaurant and pastry shop, conducted a survey to learn about the breakfast, lunch, dough and desserts favorite by its customers, in so many years of service.
