About Cheese Slice
Pre-sliced processed cheese; convenient, classic for sandwiches and burgers.
Health Benefits of Cheese Slice
Decent calcium; ~18g protein
Cheese slices are processed cheese - natural cheese plus emulsifying salts and a little dairy, re-made for a stable, quick-melting consistency that doesn't separate. Pre-sliced and ready to put in sandwiches, burgers or toast - an easy daily cheese.
Calcium is still substantial
Despite being processed, two slices (~40g) supply about 200-240mg calcium (500-600mg/100g), about a quarter of the daily recommendation. Choose brands higher in natural-cheese content for better value.
~70 kcal a slice; easy portion control
Each slice is ~20-25g and 56-70 kcal, so it's easy to portion. One or two slices in a sandwich add a milky note and calcium; note slices are salty, so ease off other salt in the meal.
