About Grated parm
Grated Parmesan, often derived from authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, is a hard, aged cheese with roots in Italian cuisine. Made from cow's milk, salt, and rennet, it goes through a lengthy aging process that intensifies its nutty, savory flavor. Commonly used as a topping for pasta, soups, and salads, it adds a burst of umami to dishes. Nutritionally, grated Parmesan is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle and bone health. It also contains essential vitamins like B12 and phosphorus. However, it is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key. Its intense flavor means a little goes a long way, making it an effective way to elevate dishes without excessive calories. Always check for additives in pre-packaged versions, as some may include anti-caking agents. Opting for freshly grated Parmesan ensures higher quality and a more authentic taste.
