Today at the supermarket I decided to buy my favorite vegetables which are corn and pumpkin, and I will show them to you and also talk a little bit about them.

Corn is an extremely popular food source, especially in the Americas, and is often ground into flour and used to make a variety of dishes, from arepas to tortillas.

Dishes that can be prepared with corn include :

Arepas or tostadas

Fundamental in the Venezuelan and Colombian diet, they consist of round corn flour dough rolls, which are eaten roasted or fried with various fillings.

Cachapas or chorreadas

Typical of Colombia, Costa Rica and Venezuela, and with a strong presence in the Canary Islands due to the exchange with the latter nation, it consists of a kind of pancake made of corn flour and tender corn grains, eggs, salt, sugar and a pinch of wheat flour, which is eaten filled with white cheese, curd, custard.

Tortillas

In Mexico and Central America, corn flour tortillas are made and then fried, grilled or accompanied with different contents, depending on the dish: tacos, quesadillas, tostadas, flautas, etc.

In addition to being a delicious food, auyama has multiple healing properties, also known as pumpkin in other countries, it is a berry with a hard shell, it belongs to the cucurbitaceae family and is native to America, its plant is a creeping herb with large leaves and the fruit can be round or oval, green or yellow in color.

The Auyama brings many benefits to your body, among which are some against:

Anemia

By eating the pulp of the pumpkin, this natural supplement becomes an excellent tonic to combat insufficient energy in children and the elderly.

Arthritis

The pumpkin is a great alkalizing for the blood, because it helps to release uric acid and improve circulation throughout the body.

People suffering from angina pectoris or who have suffered a heart attack are recommended to eat pumpkin 3 or 4 times a week in different dishes and presentations.
