                                Arepas are a beloved staple in Colombian and Venezuelan cuisine, with some estimates suggesting they have been enjoyed for thousands of years. The good news is that Colombian arepas are, in their traditional form, completely gluten-free, relying on pre-cooked cornmeal instead of wheat flour.
