What is the difference between the yellow and white precooked cornmeal (for the boliarepas)?
Thank you!

The color.

I tasted the two side by side. The white one seemed lighter in flavor, perhaps even sweeter. The yellow ones seemed earthier and a touch more savory. I personally prefer the yellow, but my kids all have different opinions.

Hello,
For my Spanish class we need to make a Hispanic food and research the country that it is from. I was assigned Venezuela, and I chose to make arepas (with a filling). I am having trouble finding masarepa. I am finding cornmeal (hierna de maiz), but not pre-cooked cornmeal. Do you know of any suitable substitute that would work for making arepas? I would order some off of Amazon, but we only have a couple days to complete the project. Thank you so much!!
