Most people are used to thinking of cottage cheese as a bland food for strict diets. However, recently this product has been experiencing a true renaissance thanks to popular food bloggers. They have proven that this ingredient can be transformed into incredibly tasty and appetizing dishes.
Daily Mail explains why this product is ideal for everyone.
What are the advantages of curd cheese (cottage cheese)
This dairy product has very humble origins from distant Mesopotamia. It is made by adding acid to regular milk to separate the protein curds. These curds are then thoroughly washed and mixed with cream to achieve a delicate texture.
Modern nutritionists call cottage cheese the ideal food for maintaining a slim figure. 100 grams of the product contain only 103 calories and provide the body with a huge portion of high-quality protein. This makes it an excellent alternative to heavy, fatty snacks in the evening.
Secret to weight loss and benefits for the stomach
Specific milk protein is digested very slowly and maintains a pleasant feeling of fullness for a long time. This helps avoid the constant urge to snack and significantly reduces the overall daily calorie intake. That is why the product often becomes the basis of a menu for quick weight loss before important events.
Unlike kefir, cottage cheese is not a powerful probiotic. However, it is very beneficial to combine it with foods rich in natural fiber. Experts recommend adding fresh vegetables or seeds to it to maintain healthy intestinal microflora.
Main competitor to Greek yogurt
Now, cottage cheese is beginning to actively displace popular Greek yogurts from supermarket shelves. Upon detailed comparison, it wins due to its higher protein content and lower natural sugar content. This versatile product is ideal for both creating sweet desserts and savory snacks.
