The ancient roasted grain and gain new insights about its value as a "superfood"
Imagine you have just discovered an ancient secret from the indigenous people of the Canary Islands. Today – a new "superfood" on the market - Gofio. Learn more about benefits and possibilities of use...
Gofio is a traditional food made from roasted and ground cereals, originating in the Canary Islands. It is made from a variety of grains, including wheat, barley, and oats, and is often mixed with ingredients such as chickpeas and beans.
The origins of gofio can be traced back to the pre-Columbian era when the indigenous people of the Canary Islands would grind roasted cereals to make a staple food. The word "gofio" itself comes from the Guanche language, which was spoken by the indigenous people of the Canary Islands before the arrival of the Spanish.
One ingredient, many delicious and nutritious dishes
Gofio is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is often used as a thickener for soups, sauces, and stews, or as an ingredient in traditional dishes such as wrinkly potatoes (papas arrugadas) and gofio escaldado. It can also be eaten as a snack, mixed with honey or sugar. One of the most popular ways to eat gofio is to mix it with milk or water to create a porridge-like consistency. This mixture is called "gofio amasado" and is a staple breakfast food in the Canary Islands. It is also sometimes added to the popular Canarian drink "franqueza" which is made with milk and cinnamon. It can also be used as a coating for fish and meat.
What do studies say?
In addition to its delicious taste, gofio is also a nutritious food. Recently, gofio has been gaining attention as a "superfood" due to its high nutritional value. It is a rich source of carbohydrates, protein, and fibre, as well as minerals such as iron and zinc. Some studies have also suggested that gofio may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is also a gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat-based products, making it suitable for those with gluten intolerance.
In recent years, gofio has been gaining popularity outside of the Canary Islands, and can now be found in Spanish and Canary Island restaurants around the world. Whether you're a resident of the Canary Islands or just visiting, be sure to try some gofio and experience the unique taste and culture of this traditional food.
