About Quarter cup of shredded parmesan cheese

A quarter cup of shredded Parmesan cheese brings a burst of rich, nutty flavor to your dishes. Originating from Italy and traditionally made from cow’s milk, Parmesan is a hard, aged cheese that’s a staple in Italian cuisine. It’s commonly used to top pastas, salads, soups, and casseroles. In terms of nutrition, this portion provides a good source of protein and calcium, essential for strong muscles and bones. It also contains small amounts of vitamin A and phosphorus. However, Parmesan is high in sodium and saturated fat, so moderation is key, especially for those watching their salt intake or cholesterol levels. Its bold flavor makes it easy to use sparingly while still enhancing your meal. Opt for freshly shredded Parmesan for the best taste and fewer additives.
