Macaroni and Kraft cheese

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is a very popular instant prepared dish that combines macaroni pasta with a creamy processed cheese sauce, all ready to cook quickly. This product was created by the American company Kraft Foods and has become a classic of quick and home cooking, especially in North America.

The main ingredients are macaroni, a short pasta in the shape of small tubes, accompanied by a powder or liquid mixture that, when milk and butter are added, transforms into a smooth and creamy cheese sauce. It is known for its intense cheddar cheese flavor and comforting texture.

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is valued for its practicality and quick preparation, making it a common option for easy meals, especially for children and people with little time to cook.

Regarding its origin, Kraft Mac & Cheese was introduced in the United States in the 1930s, gaining popularity during World War II due to its long shelf life and ease of preparation.

Properties: Although it is a processed food, it provides energy primarily through carbohydrates and fats, and contains calcium and proteins derived from cheese. However, it is recommended to consume it in moderation due to its sodium and saturated fat content.

In Latin America, although there is no exact synonym because it is a registered trademark, the product is usually described simply as "macaroni and cheese" or in some countries it is generically known as "pasta with cheese sauce". In certain contexts, it may also be called "baked macaroni and cheese" when prepared in the oven with cheese.
