About Cheese bread rolls

Cheese bread rolls, also known as pão de queijo in Brazilian cuisine, are a small, baked snack or side dish made primarily from tapioca flour, cheese, eggs, and milk. Originating from Brazil, these rolls are naturally gluten-free due to the use of tapioca flour, making them a popular choice among those avoiding wheat-based products. The blend of cheese provides significant protein and fat, while the eggs contribute choline and additional protein. However, they are relatively energy-dense due to their fat content from cheese and milk.

Health Benefits

• Rich in calcium, primarily from cheese, which supports bone strength and density.
• Provides high-quality protein from eggs and cheese, essential for muscle repair and growth.
• A source of choline from eggs, supporting brain and nervous system health.
