Cheese curds, a staple of Midwestern American cuisine, are small, bite-sized pieces of fresh curdled milk, offering a mild, creamy flavor and springy texture. When deep-fried, they transform into a crispy, golden snack, with a warm, gooey center that’s rich and indulgent. Typically coated in seasoned batter or breading before frying, these cheesy morsels are enjoyed as a popular appetizer or side dish. While they are high in protein and calcium thanks to the cheese, their nutritional profile shifts during frying, as the added fat and calories from oil can make them less heart-healthy. Deep-fried cheese curds are best savored in moderation and balanced with nutrient-rich foods. Their irresistibly crunchy exterior and decadent melted core make them a favorite comfort food with roots in Wisconsin, the heart of America’s dairyland.
