RICOTTA CHEESE HEALTH BENEFITS:

1.Ricotta beats out the hard cheeses for fat content and overall health benefits and even has advantages over cottage cheese. 

2.Use it as a tasty white pizza topping or stuff a chicken breast with it for added calcium. Substitute it in place of cream cheese in dessert recipes or flavor it with orange liqueur and serve it with fresh fruit. It's a tasty, and healthy, alternative.

3.Ricotta cheese is a good source of protein with five to grams in a quarter cup serving.

4.This soft, creamy cheese has almost 130 milligrams of calcium per quarter cup - and is an excellent source of zinc and selenium.

5. Ricotta cheese wins out over its cottage cheese rival when it comes to salt content. Ricotta cheese has almost five times less sodium than cottage cheese - making it an easy choice for anyone watching their blood pressure. Ricotta is also a good source of riboflavin and vitamin B12.
