how much phosphorus is in swiss cheese
A delicious topic!
The amount of phosphorus in Swiss cheese can vary depending on the specific type, age, and production methods. However, I can provide some general information and approximate values.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), here are the approximate phosphorus contents in different types of Swiss cheese:
- Emmental Swiss Cheese:
- 1 ounce (28g) = 170-200 milligrams (mg) of phosphorus (5-6% of the Daily Value (DV))
- Gruyère Swiss Cheese:
- 1 ounce (28g) = 180-220 mg of phosphorus (6-7% of the DV)
- Swiss-style Cheese (e.g., American Swiss):
- 1 ounce (28g) = 140-170 mg of phosphorus (4-5% of the DV)
For reference, the Daily Value (DV) for phosphorus is 1,000 mg per day for adults.
Keep in mind that these values can vary depending on the specific cheese product, manufacturer, and aging process. Some Swiss cheeses may have higher or lower phosphorus content.
If you have specific dietary needs or restrictions, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized guidance.
