About Queso en polvo

Queso En Polvo, or powdered cheese, is a finely processed dairy product commonly used in Latin American cuisine for enhancing flavor in dishes like soups, sauces, and snacks. Made by dehydrating cheese and blending it with additives such as anti-caking agents, it offers a convenient and versatile way to enjoy the rich, savory taste of cheese without refrigeration. Typically derived from cow’s milk, it contains protein and calcium, contributing to bone health. However, Queso En Polvo can be high in sodium and saturated fats, which may pose health concerns if consumed in excess. Often used sparingly as a seasoning, it provides a concentrated cheese flavor with a longer shelf life, making it ideal for both home cooking and commercial food products. For optimal nutritional benefits, consider incorporating it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
