Low-fat cottage cheese is a fresh, mild-flavored cheese made from curds of pasteurized skim or reduced-fat milk. Originating from Europe, it has become a staple in various cuisines worldwide, appreciated for its versatility and light texture. This nutrient-dense dairy product is high in protein while being relatively low in calories and fat, making it a popular choice for weight management and muscle building. It also contains essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, which support bone health and energy production. Low-fat cottage cheese is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for low-carb and high-protein diets. However, some varieties may contain added sodium, so it's worth checking labels for reduced-sodium options if you’re monitoring your salt intake. Enjoy it as a snack, in salads, as a dip base, or blended into smoothies for a creamy, nutritious boost.
