Best time: Breakfast or snack, plain or with a little honey

Benefits

  • ✓Fresh cheese made from whey, with a good nutritional profile - quality protein and calcium
  • ✓Less salty than most aged Romanian cheeses, suitable for those watching their sodium intake
  • ✓Fine texture and mildly sweet taste, versatile in both savory and sweet dishes (pies, dumplings)
  • ✓Contains whey protein, which is rapidly absorbed, useful post-workout

Considerations

  • !Nutritional values vary considerably by producer and the milk used (cow vs sheep) - figures are average values
  • !Perishable - keeps for much less time than aged or smoked cheeses
  • !The sheep's milk version is fattier and more caloric than the cow's milk one

FitAzi Tip

FitAzi recommends urdă as an alternative to cottage cheese for variety - it has a more delicate taste and works well in both savory recipes (urdă pie) and sweet ones. For a protein-rich breakfast, combine it with fresh fruit and a few nuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Urda are, în medie, 150 kcal la 100g, cu 12g proteine, 3,5g carbohidrați și 10g grăsimi (valori medii - variază în funcție de producător și de tipul de lapte folosit). Este o sursă bună de proteine de calitate, comparabilă cu alte brânzeturi proaspete românești precum brânza de vaci.

Sunt similare nutrițional, ambele fiind brânzeturi proaspete cu proteine de calitate, dar urda este obținută din zer, în timp ce brânza de vaci este obținută din lapte integral sau degresat. Brânza de vaci are de obicei un conținut proteic puțin mai mare (aproximativ 11-18g/100g, în funcție de grăsime), în timp ce urda poate fi mai grasă dacă este făcută din zer de la lapte de oaie integral.
