It is composed of a "masa" mixtures from "yautía", "yuca" or "ñame" and green bananas (guineos verdes) that are grown in the tropical island of Puerto Rico and contains meat like pork. This typical plate is commonly served during the Christmas season. The "pasteles" has been compared with the Arabs "pastel" that is wrapped with cabbage leaves.
