It seems that, lately, I've been posting recipes that include Feta Cheese! And, I'm just about to post another!! Feta goes along with the light dishes we enjoy during the summer. However, that made me wonder about the nutritional value of Feta compared to other cheeses in our diets. A good comparison for me is cheddar cheese because, over the years, cheddar has been a staple food in our refrigerator. There are interesting differences. See for yourself. Enjoy the remaining delights of summer!
