An integral ingredient in many Latino Lenten dishes, Bacalao is both intensely flavorful and highly nutritious. The dried, salted whitefish is available in three boneless varieties (Codfish, Pollock and Pollock Fillets), all of which are low in fat and rich in protein, vitamin B, iron and calcium.

Bacalao, or salted, sun-dried codfish, has been a staple of Spanish and Latin American cuisines since the Basque peoples introduced it to the Spanish inland in the 16th century. Because this sturdy, preserved fish could be transported to every part of the region without spoiling, it became an essential source of protein, especially during Lent, and meatless Friday meals.. Don't go without it!

A root vegetable, similar in texture to its cousin the potato, this popular Latin American staple is often served as a side dish in Caribbean and South American cuisine. Just heat and serve.
