About Half cup of cottage cheese

Half a cup of cottage cheese is a protein-packed dairy food that originates from Eastern European cuisine but has become a staple in diets worldwide. Made by curdling milk and draining the whey, its slightly tangy flavor and creamy texture make it versatile in meals and snacks. Nutritionally, this serving offers about 14 grams of protein, making it an excellent choice for muscle repair and satiety. It’s also a source of calcium, important for bone health, and contains vitamin B12, which supports energy production. Depending on the variety, cottage cheese can be low in fat or contain moderate amounts of saturated fat, making it important to choose options that align with dietary goals. While some brands may have added sodium, this nutrient-dense food fits well in balanced meals and pairs beautifully with fruits, vegetables, or whole grains for a wholesome addition to your diet.
