Nutritive Value of Cottage Cheese
Reading edition
Cottage cheese is a concentrated form of milk. One pound of cottage cheese contains most of the protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron, and vitamins found in three quarts of milk.
Three ounces of cottage cheese furnishes about 50% of an adult’s daily requirement for calcium.
Cottage cheese is a complete protein (builds, repairs, and maintains body tissue); therefore, it is particularly desirable for growing children and is an ideal food for adults.
Cottage cheese is easily digested and readily assimilated. It is an important food for the person desiring to lose weight because of its high nutritive value and low caloric content. One ounce of creamed cottage cheese supplies about 30 calories.
In addition to its concentrated food value, cottage cheese is also a very versatile food. It can be served in a variety of tempting ways because it combines nicely with almost any type of food.
