Benefits of Stuffed Blue Cheese Tomatoes
Blue cheese is rich in nutrients and provides a variety of notable health benefits. For example, blue cheese offers high calcium content — even when compared to other types of cheese. A once-ounce serving of blue cheese contains 150 mg of calcium. While the recommended daily value for calcium varies based on age and sex, most adults should consume, at minimum, 1,000 mg per day.
