Regular cottage cheese is a fresh, dairy-based product made from the curds of cow's milk. Originating from Eastern Europe, it has since become a staple ingredient in diets worldwide, valued for its mild flavor and versatile texture. Typically, cottage cheese contains small curds suspended in a creamy base, with variations in fat content depending on the type. It is rich in nutrients, particularly protein, calcium, and phosphorus, making it a popular choice for those seeking to build muscle, support bone health, or maintain a balanced diet. However, regular cottage cheese can also be high in sodium, which may be a consideration for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Whether enjoyed on its own, paired with fruits or vegetables, or incorporated into dishes like salads, casseroles, or dips, cottage cheese offers a satisfying and nutritious option for meals and snacks.
