About Low fat cotage cheese

Low-fat cottage cheese is a versatile, nutrient-rich dairy product that originates from Eastern European culinary traditions but is widely enjoyed across the globe. Made by curdling skim milk and draining off most of the liquid whey, it has a mild, creamy flavor and a slightly crumbly texture. Packed with high-quality protein and low in fat, it supports muscle repair and maintenance, making it a favorite among fitness enthusiasts. Cottage cheese is also a good source of calcium, which contributes to strong bones and teeth, as well as essential B vitamins like riboflavin. Its low calorie count makes it an excellent addition to weight management diets. However, it can be high in sodium, so those monitoring their salt intake should opt for low-sodium varieties. Enjoy it as a snack, in salads, or as a base for both savory and sweet recipes to boost your daily nutrition.
