Cheese itself is mainly composed of protein, lipids and other nutrients. Like milk, cheese is rich in minerals, such as calcium, zinc, vitamins A and B2. Because it is made by fermentation, these nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body.
Cheese can be eaten raw or used for cooking, alone or with other ingredients. After heating, most cheese will melt and turn brown, and some cheese will melt softly, especially after adding acid or starch.
Cheese with biscuits is the choice of some westerners to satisfy their hunger. Cheese and wine are the main courses of French meals, before sweets. Cheese is also indispensable for cooking Italian food. Cheese is needed to make pasta and pizza. The Greeks made salad with lettuce, olives and cheese. Fondu, a traditional Swiss cheese, is a local warm-up food in winter.

Edible efficacy
Cheese is a dairy product made by concentrated fermentation of milk. It basically eliminates a lot of water in milk and retains the essence with high nutritional value, and is known as the' gold' in dairy products. Every kilogram of cheese products is concentrated with 10 kg of milk, which is a super-brand nutrient such as protein, calcium and phosphorus needed by human body. The unique fermentation technology makes its nutrient absorption rate reach 96% ~ 98%.
Dairy products are the best choice for calcium-supplemented foods, while cheese is the dairy product with the most calcium, which is easily absorbed. As far as calcium content is concerned, 250 ml milk =200 ml yogurt =40 g cheese.
Cheese can improve the body's ability to resist diseases, promote metabolism, enhance vitality, and protect eye health and skin health.
Lactic acid bacteria and its metabolites in cheese have a certain health care effect on human body, which is conducive to maintaining the stability and balance of normal intestinal flora and preventing constipation and diarrhea.
Cheese contains more fat and heat energy, but its cholesterol content is relatively low, which is also beneficial to cardiovascular health.
British sleep doctors believe that eating some cheese with meals can help prevent dental caries. Eating food containing cheese can greatly increase the calcium content on the tooth surface, thus inhibiting the occurrence of dental caries.
Recently, the BBC produced a program about food science, The Truth of Food, which cooperated with many famous universities in the world and used nearly 500 volunteers. Many research results have completely broken our misunderstanding of food.
First of all, let's give an example that we always mistakenly think is true-yogurt. For a long time, it has been thought that lactic acid bacteria contained in yogurt can activate the digestive function in the intestine and help to resist diseases. The results show that yogurt does contain a large number of lactic acid bacteria, but after passing through the strong acid environment of the stomach, there are few beneficial bacteria left in the large intestine, so drinking yogurt is basically not very helpful to improve the number of beneficial bacteria in the human body.
On the contrary, it is really effective to eat some foods that help to cultivate beneficial bacteria inherent in the human body, such as garlic, onions, artichokes and leeks. (Note: Artichoke, also known as French lily and artichoke, is an edible perennial herb with flower buds in Artichoke of Compositae. It originated in China and is now cultivated in Europe, South America, North America, Africa and parts of Asia. Bud and receptacle in bud are edible. In Europe, artichokes are known as "the king of vegetables". At present, some supermarkets in China sell them. )
