Cellulose is only added to packaged grated as an anti-clumping ingredient... like the one in the green tube... doesn't matter it's not digestible, it's like wheat bran, passes right through. |

I don't buy the stuff in the green shaker can. I buy that cheese and I prefer it. I buy the combo of parmesan/romano. Since it's dried, the flavor is more concentrated and I like that. The only ingredients are cheese and powdered cellulose. I don't care about that "sawdust." I don't know but it might even offer a good flavor. I guess that depends on what wood dust they use. heh heh Real fresh parm is much weaker in flavor and I'll use up an entire wedge on just one dish. The can of dried will last me much longer. The canned stuff rules, imo. Maybe better that ppl here quit reading all the fine print on labels and just eat what tastes good. We all die about the same ages anyway. I say eat whatever sounds good at the moment and quit worrying about all this nit-picky stuff. :-D |
