Quark is a soft cheese made from skimmed milk; the form described here is Magerquark. It mainly provides protein, with some carbohydrate, as well as calcium and other vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 15g of protein, 4g of carbohydrate, 120mg of calcium and 0.11g of salt. Fat and saturated fat are present in trace amounts.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The carbohydrate in this quark is recorded as sugars, which in plain milk products are mainly naturally occurring lactose. Its trace fat and saturated fat content may be relevant to people monitoring their fat intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
