Re: Cottage cheese substitute
|
Lisa Young while it is true that there is no good substitute for dairy, the question is about yogurt, which IS a dairy product.? So yes, if you drain some of the whey from yogurt, you obtain a cheese very much like the quark that Budwig used, which is indeed a wonderful (and perhaps superior) substitute for cottage cheese.? In fact, it is actually cottage cheese that is a substitute for quark, which cannot be easily obtained in the US.
From all I read, there is no good substitute.It has to do with protein concentration and the amount of sulphur available to bond to the flax oil. Are you in the states? A? grocer may be able to special order you a case of Nancy's organic lowfat cottage cheese even if they don't carry. Sprouts, Whole Foods and? Natural Grocer all carry that brand.
I read that organic plain yogurt is an acceptable substitute for the cottage cheese. Is that correct? The suggested protein limit was 10-12% but I could only find less, (8%) or more (14%). Is either ok?
I am not able to find organic cottage cheese or quark.
Thank you,
Barb
