Where it comes from

Ceviche is a culinary treasure of Peru, believed to date back to ancient Inca times, where fresh fish was marinated in citrus juices to preserve it. This refreshing dish embodies the vibrant coastal culture of Peru, showcasing the bounty of the Pacific Ocean. An intriguing detail is the use of sweet potato or corn as a side, which contrasts beautifully with the acidity of the ceviche.
