About Cream cheese rangoons
Cream Cheese Rangoons are a popular appetizer in American-Chinese cuisine, consisting of wonton wrappers filled with a rich and creamy blend of cream cheese, often combined with scallions or other seasonings, before being deep-fried to golden perfection. While originally inspired by Chinese wontons, this dish has been heavily adapted for Western palates. Structurally, they are high in fats due to the cream cheese and frying process, with carbohydrates provided by the wonton wrappers. A single rangoon typically contains around 50-70 calories, 3-5 grams of fat, 1-2 grams of protein, and minimal dietary fiber, depending on preparation. They are rich in calcium from the cream cheese but should be consumed in moderation due to their saturated fat and sodium content.
Health Benefits
- Rich in calcium from the cream cheese, supporting bone health with approximately 20-30 mg per piece.
- Provides small amounts of protein, about 1-2 grams per serving, essential for muscle repair and immune function.
- Contains trace amounts of vitamin A (around 5% of the Daily Value per piece), which supports vision and immune function.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Cream Cheese Rangoons should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
