About Skim ricotta cheese

Rich in protein and calcium, skim ricotta supports muscle maintenance and bone health, while being lower in calories and saturated fat. It is a versatile ingredient, widely used in dishes such as lasagna, ravioli, and desserts like cheesecakes. Though it's a nutritious option, individuals watching their sodium intake should check labeling as some brands can be higher in salt.
