| Achiras or achira cookies are traditional Colombian cookies. They are made with Achira flour (originally from the region) instead of wheat flour. Widely known in Huila as Achiras del Huila or Galletas de Achira, they provide minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and high protein content and do not contain gluten. They are elongated and cylindrical in shape, with a golden yellow color, typical of good cooking. They melt slightly in the mouth with a crunchy, soft and sandy texture, with a milky flavor. Achira is also known as Saga or Chisgua in Colombia. They are consumed as food by the Chibchas in Colombia, but it is believed that their use has spread throughout the Andes due to trade with other indigenous communities. One package comes with 4.2 oz or 120 g. |
