/Sounds like "mbeh" + "HOO" (as in "who")/

Meaning

A thin, crispy Paraguayan flatbread made from manioc starch and cheese, one of the country's most iconic traditional foods. Mbejú comes from pre-Columbian Guaraní cuisine and is the quintessential Paraguayan breakfast: eaten warm, ideally alongside a cold tereré. The texture is completely unique and impossible to describe without trying it.

Examples

¿Quieres un mbejú con el tereré?

Want a mbejú with your tereré?

El mbejú de mi abuela es el mejor que probé en mi vida.

My grandmother's mbejú is the best I have ever had in my life.

Regional synonyms
