Cheese is considered one of the healthiest and most nutritious dairy products. Each variety differs not only in texture, aroma and taste, but also in its composition.

How much protein is in cheese?

The milk delicacy is a source of easily digestible protein, which helps to stay in good shape and restore muscle tissue. Most of the protein composition is represented by essential amino acids such as tryptophan, methionine, and lysine. The most protein is found in hard and semi-hard varieties. The most famous of them are “Russian” (23 g), “Cheddar” (24 g), “Emmental” (28 g), “Parmesan” (30 g).

There is slightly less protein in brine cheeses, for example, in “Adygei” - 20 g, in “Suluguni” - 20.5 g, in “Feta” - 14 g. The least amount of protein is in a home-made product - no more than 15% of the total masses.

To replenish protein reserves, it is useful for vegetarians to eat tofu. 300 g of this product contains the same amount of protein as 150 g of lean meat.

Essential amino acids play an important role in the proper functioning of the human body. For example, tryptophan improves metabolism, quickly restores strength after grueling workouts, and lysine helps strengthen the immune system and collagen synthesis.

Carbohydrate content in 100 grams of cheese

Hard and some soft varieties have a minimal carbohydrate content. For some cheeses the indicator is almost zero. These are “Russian”, “Dutch”, “Lambert”, “Parmesan”. Such products can be consumed in moderation on fasting days. A higher carbohydrate content was observed in brine, processed, curd, and smoked varieties. For “Adygeisky” the indicator is 1.5 g, for “Hochland” - 5 g, for “Kolbasny” - 4 g.

The maximum amount of carbohydrates is contained in sweet glazed cheese curds (more than 30%).

This solid and semi-solid dairy product is ideal for those following a low-carbohydrate diet. However, for athletes, carbohydrates in moderation are no less important than proteins. They replenish the body's energy reserves and reduce protein consumption.

Mass fraction of fat in cheese

The mass fraction of fat in a popular fermented milk product, on average, is about 30% of the total mass. One standard serving of cheese (100 g) can satisfy one third of the daily requirement for this nutrient.

The calorie content of a product is determined mainly by fats, mostly represented by saturated fatty acids.

There has been a direct relationship between the amount of lipids in cheese and the milk used to make it. The higher the fat content of the milk, the greater the energy value. The least amount of lipids is in very hard varieties, for example, “Parmesan” - less than 27%, in the semi-hard “Russian” - 30%, in “Adygei” - 20%. The latter refers to brine varieties, which are distinguished by a small amount of fat compared to the others. Read more about it in our publication.

Russian cheese is a well-known domestic product.

One of the most popular types of dairy products is Rossiysky cheese. Its calorie content is very high, but universal love and affection is due not only to this, but also to a large number of other reasons. I would like to note the fact that this variety is one of the most basic and constantly existing on store shelves. But it’s true that as long as you can remember, you’ve been seeing this cheese on the market for as long as you can. Starting from the times of the USSR and ending with our days. Also worth attention is a large assortment of this type, depending on its manufacturer (of which there is currently no shortage).

Product Features

“Russian” cheese, whose calorie content is quite high, has some taste difference from other types that can be aimed exclusively at a narrow circle of consumers (for example, with mold). It has a fairly noticeable sourish, but traditionally recognizable taste. Plus, its cost is at an affordable level, thanks to which everyone can afford to pamper themselves, which is quite relevant lately.

This type of dairy product is produced in Russia and some CIS countries. Pasteurized milk is used as the initial raw material for its preparation. It is classified as a semi-hard rennet cheese. This enzyme is added to cow's milk along with a special starter that contains lactic acid bacteria. Rossiysky cheese, the calorie content of which increases several times after production, is also distinguished by its yellowish color, and on the cut you can see small eyes and white lace.

Despite the high level of fat content, this product is in no way inferior in taste to other varieties. As for cooking and preparing various dishes, it is even more popular than other cheeses. Particular relevance can be emphasized for the preparation of casseroles, salads, pizza, hot dishes and snacks.

Composition, vitamins, minerals

One of the healthiest products can be called Russian cheese. Its calorie content is very high, since a third of this product is pure protein. On the other hand, due to this, it can be used instead of meat products in some vegetarian dishes. This cheese contains one essential element called milk fat, which is very well accepted by the body. Despite the fact that this product contains practically no carbohydrates, it has a fairly large and impressive list of vitamins B 12, B 6, B9, C, PP, A. And due to the fact that cheese contains vitamin B 12, it helps during the treatment of diseases, associated with hepatitis, anemia and anemia. It is impossible not to note the positive effect of the product on men's health due to the zinc content. Naturally, calcium and phosphorus are present, as in other dairy products, which is important for bone structure. Therefore, cheese is recommended for those patients who have had joint diseases. Thus, the product has become not only tasty, but also healthy, having a sufficiently large mineral and vitamin composition, due to which it is recommended for inclusion in the diet.

Useful properties of “Russian” cheese

Many doctors and nutritionists claim that one of the healthiest is “Russian” cheese 50%. Calorie content may indicate its satiety, but at the same time it contributes to:

1. Strengthening teeth, bones, hair and nails.
2. Increasing energy balance.
3. Improving metabolism.
4. Activates brain function.
5. Quickly restores strength not only after mental, but also after physical exertion.
6. Promotes proportional development and growth of the body.

Rossiysky cheese is incredibly nutritious (calories / proteins / fats / carbohydrates: 364 kcal / 25% / 73% / 0%), so you need to watch the amount you eat. Since everything is good in moderation and you shouldn’t abuse it. Naturally, for true connoisseurs these words mean nothing.

Harm of cheese

With all the positive qualities of this product, there are still a few negative points that need to be mentioned, because this can cause problems in the future. Due to the fact that this cheese has a very high percentage of fat and calorie content, it is still worth avoiding its consumption by those category of people who have some problems with excess weight and obesity, and those who have been prescribed a low-fat light diet. If you follow all the recommendations and common sense, and do not overeat it, then the product will only be beneficial.

Naturally, improper storage of cheese can cause a lot of harm, in which case diarrhea is not the worst option. Some consumers continue to use the product even after mold appears on it, thinking that there is nothing wrong with it, but in fact it can create many problems.

Also, due to the diuretic effect inherent in cheese, people who suffer from urolithiasis may experience discomfort.

Characteristic

It is difficult to argue with the fact that the high calorie content of Rossiiskiy cheese (50% fat content) comes to the fore. This makes us cautious about adding it to various dishes. This is due to the fact that any salad or snack in which it is used becomes one third higher in calories. At the same time, there is a certain circle of nutritionists who still oppose the mass production of cheeses, which are based on pasteurized milk. The type described is, in fact, produced in this way. This is due to the fact that such a product does not contain even a small fraction of what such cheeses should actually contain (we are talking about beneficial properties). Due to the maximum amount of saturated fatty acids, coconut and palm oil are so harmful to the body that they are quite capable of causing Alzheimer's disease. This only applies to those species in which traces of vegetable fats were found. As for the rest, this issue is not even discussed; only reasonable use leads only to a positive effect.
