Raw cheese curds are fresh, bite-sized portions of dairy cheese, often created as a by-product during the cheese-making process before aging. Originating primarily in North American and European cuisines, particularly in regions renowned for cheese production like Wisconsin or Quebec, raw cheese curds are celebrated for their mild flavor and squeaky texture. Made from pasteurized milk, they are rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, helping support bone health and energy levels. However, they are also high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals monitoring cardiovascular health. Enjoyed as a snack or deep-fried in popular dishes such as poutine, raw cheese curds combine nutritious benefits with indulgent appeal, though mindful portions are advised for a balanced diet.
