Cheese Shredded Cheddar is a versatile dairy product made from cow’s milk, originating from England. Known for its sharp flavor and vibrant orange hue, shredded cheddar is a convenient way to add rich, creamy depth to dishes from various cuisines, including American, British, and Tex-Mex. It is a good source of protein and calcium, essential for maintaining strong bones and muscles. However, cheddar is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Typically used in recipes like casseroles, tacos, salads, and pasta dishes, shredded cheddar provides a quick melt and consistent texture, making it a favorite for hearty comfort foods. Look for versions without added preservatives for a cleaner ingredient profile.
