💡 What's interesting

Culturally, ceviche is a cornerstone of coastal cuisine in many Latin American countries, with each region boasting its own unique twist. Nutritionally, the 'cooking' process using acid denatures the fish's proteins without heat, preserving heat-sensitive nutrients and creating a distinct, tender texture that's both refreshing and nutrient-dense.
