Palenque's Quinoa Arepas: A Signature Gastronomic Artifact for NYC Food Lovers At Palenque Brooklyn, we've crafted more than just food – we've created a distinct gastronomic artifact that redefines Colombian arepas for the modern era. Our Quinoa Arepas represent a culinary innovation where tradition meets conscious eating, establishing a new standard in NYC's food landscape as the ultimate gluten-free arepas New York foodies deserve. The Nutritional Power of Quinoa in Our Arepas Quinoa, the ancient Andean superfood, transforms our arepas into a nutrient-dense powerhouse. Packed with complete plant-based protein (all 9 essential amino acids), it supports muscle repair and sustained energy.

Its low glycemic index helps regulate blood sugar, while antioxidants boost immunity.
