About Queso amarillo
Queso Amarillo, commonly known as yellow cheese, is a versatile dairy product often associated with American and Tex-Mex cuisines. It is typically made from cow's milk and contains ingredients like milk solids, fat, salt, and natural or artificial coloring to achieve its signature vibrant hue. Some varieties may also include preservatives or flavoring agents. Queso Amarillo is a good source of calcium, which supports bone health, and protein, necessary for muscle repair and growth. However, it is often high in saturated fats and sodium, making moderation key for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. It is used in many dishes, from burgers and tacos to nachos and casseroles, adding creamy texture and rich flavor. When choosing Queso Amarillo, some brands offer reduced-fat or lower-sodium options for a healthier alternative without compromising on taste.
