About Pimento cheese
Pimento Cheese, often referred to as the "caviar of the South," is a creamy, tangy spread originating in Southern U.S. cuisine. It is traditionally made with shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, diced pimentos (sweet red peppers), and a mix of seasonings. Variations may include cream cheese, hot sauce, or spices for added flavor. Pimento Cheese is widely enjoyed as a spread for crackers, a filling for sandwiches, or a dip for vegetables. While it offers protein and calcium from the cheese, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, largely due to the mayonnaise and cheese content. Moderation is key for those watching their calorie intake or cardiovascular health. Though it's a decadent treat, pairing it with fresh vegetables or whole-grain crackers can make it a more balanced option.
