VEGA CASTRO, Oscar Alfonso  and  LOPEZ BARON, Francy Nataly. Typical food from Boyacá-Colombia. Perspect Nut Hum [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.2, pp.21-30. ISSN 0124-4108.

The present work presents a sample of typical meals of Boyacá-Colombia. It also describes some foods, their origin and the importance of them for indigenous communities. The purpose was to compile the memory of some Colombian culinary traditions specifically those in Boyacá. The manuscript includes a report of the most produced foods and an approximation to the most representative dishes of the diet of this region, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, beverages and snacks. Finally, we present a gastronomic map of the region and a chart with the different occasions where certain dishes are consumed. We concluded that Boyaca's cuisine is diverse. However, it is threatened for new cultural influences and lifestyles. Therefore, it is important to return to our roots to avoid losing the horizon and the identity.

Keywords : typical food; food consumption; culinary preparations; Colombia.
