The cuisine of Paraguay has many similarities with the gastronomy of other South American countries, especially with Uruguay and Argentina. Although Paraguay’s cuisine is in some ways typical South American fare, it does have its own Guaranì twist. Corn grows abundantly, so dishes tend to be sweet and creamy, and one can often find tantalizing pairings of meat and fruit. Although Paraguayan cuisine isn’t particularly spicy, it is unequivocal comfort food, a perfect complement to its warm and friendly people.
In Paraguay, the cooking styles blend meats and poultry with fresh fruit and vegetables. Their food isn't overly spicy but that doesn't mean it lacks flavor. Many recipes are naturally sweet and creamy thanks to corn and yuca. Favorite local dishes include fried yuca and a variety of empanadas.
Many of the most traditional Paraguayan dishes are either the result of guarani recipes or recipes which use ingredients that were traditional to the indigenous. Besides this, ingredients such as cassava, corn, and rice are also very popular and an important component of the Paraguayan gastronomy.
