About Fideo

Fideo is a type of thin, short, vermicelli-style pasta commonly used in Mexican and Spanish cuisines. Its name comes from the Spanish word for "noodle." Fideo is often toasted before cooking, giving it a nutty flavor, and it’s typically prepared in soups, casseroles, or stir-fried dishes. Traditional recipes might include tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, and occasionally proteins like chicken or beans. Fideo is a versatile comfort food, often served as part of a balanced meal. From a nutritional standpoint, its healthiness depends on the preparation method. When combined with fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy oils, it can be a good source of carbohydrates and fiber. However, when cooked with excess oil or paired with heavy sauces, its calorie and fat content may increase significantly. For those monitoring their nutrition, whole-grain versions of fideo offer additional dietary fiber and essential nutrients.
