Grated cheddar cheese is a versatile dairy product made from aged cheddar, a cheese originating from England. Known for its rich, sharp flavor and smooth texture, it is commonly used in cuisines worldwide, from American comfort foods to Mexican dishes. Typically prepared from cow's milk, cheddar cheese is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, which support bone health and energy production. However, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. Grated cheddar is a convenient option for quick melting in recipes such as casseroles, tacos, salads, or baked dishes, adding depth and a creamy quality to meals. Choose low-fat or reduced-sodium varieties to enjoy its benefits while reducing less desirable components.
