Shredded cheese is a versatile dairy product made from cow, goat, or sheep milk, commonly used in a variety of cuisines worldwide. Typically available in varieties such as mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or Mexican blends, it adds flavor, texture, and creaminess to dishes. A source of protein and calcium, shredded cheese contributes to muscle health, bone strength, and energy production. It also contains essential nutrients like phosphorus and vitamin B12. However, due to its fat content, including saturated fats, it should be consumed in moderation to avoid excessive calorie intake. Popular in Italian, Mexican, and American cuisines, shredded cheese is frequently used in pasta, tacos, pizzas, salads, and casseroles. Its convenient pre-grated form makes it ideal for quick meal prep, but look for options with minimal added preservatives or anti-caking agents for a healthier choice.
