Is Paneer Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Avoid

Paneer is an Indian cheese, often compared to cottage cheese, which is typically derived from cow or buffalo milk, and thus contains alpha-gal.

Paneer and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Paneer is a type of fresh cheese that is commonly used in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India. It is made by curdling milk with an acid such as lemon juice or vinegar, which separates the curds from the whey. The curds are then drained and pressed to form a firm, white cheese that holds its shape well during cooking. Unlike many other cheeses, paneer is not aged and does not melt, which makes it ideal for use in various cooked dishes such as curries and stir-fries.
