About Cheese straw

Cheese Straws are a savory snack originating from Southern American cuisine, often served at gatherings or as an appetizer. Made primarily from cheddar cheese, butter, flour, and a dash of cayenne or paprika for a spicy kick, these crispy baked treats combine a rich, flaky texture with bold, cheesy flavor. While they are a source of protein and calcium thanks to the cheese, Cheese Straws are also high in saturated fats, calories, and sodium, making them a decadent indulgence best enjoyed occasionally. The addition of spices can provide a small antioxidant boost, but their nutritional profile leans more toward comfort food than health food. Versatile and widely loved, Cheese Straws pair well with salads, soups, or as a standalone snack to complement your table spread.
