Paneer is a fresh, non-aged cheese made by curdling milk with an acid like lemon juice. It’s a staple in Indian cuisine and an excellent source of protein and calcium. Paneer supports muscle growth, bone health, and satiety. It’s mild in flavor and adapts well to curries, grills, and salads. Since it’s unaged and non-fermented, it’s easy to digest and suitable for vegetarians.
High in protein (muscle building), calcium (bone strength), phosphorus (teeth), and B vitamins (energy metabolism).
