About Farmer cheese

Farmer cheese, a versatile fresh cheese, originates from Eastern European and Russian cuisines and has become popular in various global dishes. Made by curdling milk and straining the whey, its crumbly texture is slightly tangy with a mild flavor. This cheese is low in fat compared to many aged cheeses and rich in protein, making it a nutritious addition to meals. It also offers calcium, essential for strong bones, along with other vitamins and minerals. Farmer cheese is naturally free of carbohydrates, making it suitable for low-carb or keto diets. However, depending on its preparation, sodium levels can vary, so selecting low-sodium options may be ideal for those monitoring salt intake. Its simplicity makes it perfect for spreads, salads, or baking, and its health benefits complement a balanced diet.
