About Cheese curd
Cheese curds are bite-sized pieces of curdled milk, typically made during the early stages of the cheese-making process. Originating from North America, especially popular in Midwest cuisines and Canadian dishes like poutine, they are known for their mild flavor and springy texture. Cheese curds are rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. However, they are typically high in saturated fat and sodium, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. Fresh cheese curds offer a squeaky texture due to their moisture content, but they’re often deep-fried for added flavor and crunch, increasing their calorie count. Cheese curds are versatile, enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or key ingredient in various recipes. Balancing their consumption and choosing less processed versions can make them a more nutritious option.
