Ground beef patties

Ground beef patties are a culinary preparation made from minced or ground meat, commonly beef, although they can also include mixtures with pork, chicken, or turkey. This ingredient is very versatile and popular in global cuisine, especially in informal and quick dishes.

Origin: The hamburger has its origin associated with the city of Hamburg, Germany, where seasoned ground meat was traditionally consumed. However, the version of the hamburger as we know it today, shaped like a disc and served in a bun, became popular in the United States in the 20th century, becoming an icon of fast and home-cooked food.

Properties: The ground beef patty is an important source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, such as B12. Its nutritional value can vary considerably depending on the quality of the meat used and the additional ingredients. It is advisable to use ground meat with a certain percentage of fat to ensure juiciness and flavor in the preparation.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: in different regions, it may be called hamburguesa, hamburguesa de carne, hamburguesa de res, or simply hamburguesa. In some countries, although less frequently, they are also known as filete de carne molida or patties when referring to the raw portions for cooking.
