Rinsing cottage cheese to reduce sodium
Replies
-
If you have it with lots of fresh vegetables, the sodium and potassium balance each other out. There isn't that much sodium in cottage cheese, per serving.0

Yeah, I'll just stick to buying reduced sodium cottage cheese.1

That is disgusting. Just don't eat cottage cheese.0

Just gotta ask.

So I'm wondering... does everyone use cottage cheese as a savory dish? Because low/no salt would work really well for how I like mine - with just some preserves.1

Rinsing cottage cheese reduces the sodium by 60-80 percent!
"The sodium content of water-rinsed canned green beans, tuna, and cottage cheese was analyzed. A 3-minute rinse of tuna and cottage cheese resulted in sodium reductions of 80% and 63%, respectively, with no significant effect on iron content.Calcium was reduced by approximately 50%. Although rinsing had a minimal effect on the sodium in canned beans, replacing the canning brine with water before heating lowered salt content by 33%. This study shows that the simple and economical methods of water rinsing of tuna and cottage cheese and of heating green beans in tap water markedly lowered salt content."
Interesting. But I'd want the calcium more than less salt.0 -

I wouldn't rinse cottage cheese, but I do rinse canned beans, even low sodium ones. It does reduce the sodium content quite a bit.0

Zombie thread for something soooo disgusting! Is it for Friday the 13th? Ewwww.... don't wash your cottage cheese3

If you are that concerned with sodium, just make the cottage cheese yourself. It's milk and vinegar.0

I guess I just like gross stuff XD but I prefer the whey strained out of the curds and the curds rinsed off and let to dry a bit. And if I do it myself I can get it the way I like.0

I just buy no salt added cottage cheese.
I’m just thinking eww at rinsing it.1
