Cheddar Cheese

Cheddar Cheese

💰 Cheddar is reasonably priced and provides a solid amount of nutrients for the cost.

👨‍🔬 Cheddar cheese is rich in calcium, phosphorus, and selenium. Also provides a good amount of vitamins A, B2, B3, B12, and zinc.

Overall, the micronutrient content is high.

🥗 High in calories (410 kcal) with a poor vitamins-to-calories ratio — a lot of energy relative to its nutrient content.

💡 Best used as a nutrient-rich addition rather than a main food. While it offers valuable minerals, its high calorie density limits its overall efficiency.

Compare with other foods for a better balance of nutrients and calories.
