Magerquark

Magerquark is a fresh, soft curd cheese common in German and Central European cooking, used plain, as a spread, in baking or mixed with herbs and fruits. It is prized for its very high protein content and creamy texture — providing about 12g of protein per 100g. Nutritionally, Magerquark is extremely low in fat and carbohydrates while supplying B‑vitamins (notably B12) and iodine typical of dairy; it’s a lean way to boost protein intake without adding much energy. Because of its rich, complete protein and low fat content, Magerquark is often recommended for satiety and muscle maintenance, though like most fresh dairy it contains little fiber.
