Standard Serving
1 porție rasă (28g) contains 121 calories.
Best time: Anytime, in small amounts, to flavor pasta, salads or soups
Benefits
- ✓One of the most protein-dense sources among dairy foods (38g/100g)
- ✓Very rich in calcium - a small serving covers a significant part of the daily requirement
- ✓Low lactose content due to the aging process, often tolerated better than fresh milk
- ✓Intense flavor that lets you use small amounts to flavor a dish significantly
- ✓Provides vitamin B12 and zinc, useful for energy and immunity
Considerations
- !Very calorie- and fat-dense per 100g - but usual servings are small (a sprinkle on a plate), so the real impact is moderate
- !High sodium from the aging process - relevant for people monitoring blood pressure
- !Pre-grated store-bought versions may contain anti-caking additives - check the label
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends grated parmesan in moderation (1-2 tablespoons, not a whole bowl) over pasta or salads, to add intense flavor and protein without unnecessarily doubling the meal's calories. Thanks to its strong flavor, a small amount gives similar satisfaction to a larger amount of a milder cheese.
