The Health-Nut Side, with Quinoa in the middle!

ATTENTION MOMS: Quinoa is something you might want to introduce to your children. It’s a grain that tastes like rice, and is very healthy for your kid’s diets!

Quinoa contains no gluten and no wheat.  Quinoa is an ancient grain of the Americas dating back to the Aztec Indians, and now found in abundance in Bolivia and Peru.

One of the world’s true super foods, quinoa is a complete protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. Quinoa is also a great source of fiber, iron and magnesium.  Quinoa comes close to achieving a perfect balance of essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein.  Its protein content is far higher than rice, corn, barley, and is high in lysine, an important amino acid that falls short in other grains and soybeans.

Quinoa has been referred to as the best source of protein in the vegetable kingdom and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Health Benefits of…PLANTAINS

Plaintains, rice, and beans.

One medium plantain is low in sodium, low in calories, zero fat, high in potassium and has 2 grams of protein. It also meets 40% of the RDA for vitamin A, 50% RDA for vitamin C  and 15% for magnesium. Plantains are a good source of fiber (4 g).

Plantains resemble bananas but they are longer in length, thicker skinned, and starchier in flavor.  In South America plantains are used more like a vegetable than a fruit, and are eaten with rice at almost every meal. They are not suitable for eating raw unless very ripe, where the color has turned almost completely black.

This versatile fruit has three unique stages of ripeness:

GREEN PLANTAINS…Taste more like a potato with a starchy texture. At this stage, the interior is yellowish or slightly pink. The fruit is firm and is often used as side dishes like Tostones, Patacones, and Chips.  At FuegoMundo the famous “Fuego Chip” are made from green plantains.

YELLOW PLANTAINS…are the middle stage of the fruit. These plantains can have some brownish-black spots. Their role now is both vegetable and fruit and is used in dishes that request for a slightly sweet taste and firm texture, like the Sweet Plantains.

BLACK PLANTAINS…are very ripe and are typically found in sweeter recipes. These plantains are all black or spotty black and are soft. Black plantains can be eaten without being cooked.

Plantains are found in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia, and are often called cooking bananas.

“To sum it up in just one word, I’d choose “om-nom-nom-alicious.” Okay, so it’s not a real word and probably counts as four instead of one, but I’m using it anyway. So there.”

“But the sweet plantains? Heaven. We’re talking dessert, here.”

“Everything is cooked on a wood fire grill which is right in the middle of the restaurant so you can see them cooking your food which is a very cool idea!”

“All I could say was YUM!!!! the salmon was super fresh, everything was just right! you could taste all the flavors in the marinade on the salmon but it didn’t overpower the dish which is perfection to me.”

“They’re bringing a South American spin on the ever-growing fast casual space with an affordable menu and organic wine list.”

FuegoMundo's Patio...

We are getting a lot of questions about event space at FuegoMundo.

Keep in mind that we are a fast casual restaurant, and while we don’t have private meeting space, we do have the ability to accommodate groups for pre-scheduled events.

We have a patio that you can reserve (see photo). We have sections of the restaurant dining space that we can block off and reserve for your group.

We also have a large table in the middle of our space that seats 12 (See lower pic – It’s the best seat in the house – it is right in front of both the wood-fire grill and the large screen television…)

To get more information or to reserve a space, call us at 404.256.4330! We look forward to seeing you at The World of Fire!

The large table for 12!
