About Cheese rod

Cheese Rod is a savory snack made from a blend of cheese, flour, and seasonings, baked or fried into a thin, crispy stick. Though its exact origin is debated, Cheese Rods are commonly found in Western cuisines as a popular party snack or appetizer. Rich in dairy-based protein and calcium from the cheese, they offer some nutritional benefits, but their healthiness depends on preparation. Baked versions are lower in fat and calories, while fried Cheese Rods may be higher in saturated fats. They often contain refined flour, which provides little fiber or essential nutrients. Cheese Rods are best enjoyed in moderation, as their sodium content, primarily from the cheese and added seasonings, can be high. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or dipping them in healthy spreads can help balance their nutritional profile, making them a versatile option for indulgent but controlled snacking.
