About Tablespoon parmesan cheese
Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese is a rich, aged cheese originating from Italy, celebrated for its nutty, sharp flavor and granular texture. Known as Parmigiano Reggiano in its authentic form, it’s made from cow’s milk and undergoes a meticulous aging process that can extend up to 24 months. A tablespoon, approximately 5 grams, contains about 22 calories, 1.4 grams of fat, and a significant amount of protein and calcium, making it a nutrient-dense addition to various dishes. Though it's relatively high in sodium, its strong flavor means a small amount goes a long way, minimizing excessive intake. Parmesan cheese is a versatile ingredient in Italian cuisine, often enjoyed grated over pasta, risottos, and soups. Its high calcium content supports bone health, while its protein content aids in repair and growth, making it both a flavorful and functional option when consumed in moderation.
