1. Cottage cheese is very easy to make from milk. Unlike other cheeses, it is not pressed or aged for long periods of time. The main feature of cottage cheese is its high content of the milk protein casein.

2. One cup of homemade cottage cheese (200 g) with 1% fat content contains 163 calories, 28 g of protein, 6 g of carbohydrates, and 2 g of fat.

3. To make cottage cheese tasty, it can be served with fresh or thawed frozen berries. You can also add hot spices and aromatic herbs. When seasoned with hot spices, cottage cheese can be used as a filling for sandwiches with chicken or turkey.

4. Cottage cheese should be eaten right before bedtime. Casein is the slowest of all types of protein, so your body will be able to feed on amino acids and protein peptides throughout the night. Cottage cheese is also useful as a snack at work in the afternoon, especially if you have a workout ahead of you.

5. Cottage cheese is a natural source of casein. Add it to vegetable salads, tuna salads and seafood salads. You can also use cottage cheese to make pasta sauce. To do this, mix a little milk with the cheese and add pieces of avocado. Mash until smooth and spread the mixture over the pasta.
