Parmigiano Reggiano is a tasty, and above all, nutritious food.
Today we will discover together what substances it is made of and what makes it suitable for many dietary styles, in the right doses.
Macronutrients: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in Parmigiano
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is composed of approximately 30% fats and 32% proteins, but contains no carbohydrates.
With its 402 calories per 100g, it is the perfect snack for athletes who need energy as well as high biological value proteins, meaning those that contain all essential amino acids and are retained by the body in greater quantities.
Parmigiano Reggiano: how much calcium and phosphorus does it contain?
Our Parmigiano contains 1155mg of calcium and 691mg of phosphorus per 100g.
This means that a 25g serving of Parmigiano contains 36% of the recommended daily intake of calcium and 24% of phosphorus.
These two substances are vital mineral salts for the body because, by binding together, they give shape and structure to bones. For this reason, Parmigiano Reggiano is also suitable for children's diets, to promote bone and teeth development.
Parmigiano Reggiano and diet
Parmigiano, like all foods, should be used in moderation if you are following a low-calorie diet, but due to its concentration of nutrients and vitamins, eliminating it completely would be a mistake.
Even those with lactose intolerance can enjoy our cheese without worry. Given its microbiological characteristics, lactose is barely detectable after just a few days.
Thanks to its slow aging process, Parmigiano is among the most digestible cheeses and is also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
It's fair to say, Parmigiano is good for the whole family! Stock up in our online shop.
