Gofio can then be prepared in different ways to make many different dishes, both sweet and savory. There are even gofio desserts, like mousse de gofio, which is sort of like chocolate mousse.
Gofio, papas arrogadas con mojo, and potaje de trigo are all connected to the local environment because they use typical crops of the region. Most of the ingredients in these dishes, such as the grain in the gofio and the vegetables in the mojo and the potaje, grow in the Canary Islands.
