About Ground pork patty

Ground pork patties are a versatile protein source commonly used in various cuisines such as American, Asian, and European. The patty consists of ground pork, which is minimally processed, and may include seasonings depending on preparation. Pork is rich in high-quality protein, which aids muscle repair and growth. It also provides essential vitamins and minerals like thiamin, zinc, iron, and phosphorus, contributing to overall health. Typically, ground pork patties contain a moderate amount of fat, primarily saturated and monounsaturated fats, making them energy-dense and flavorful. Compared to other protein options, pork patties might have higher cholesterol but remain an excellent source of key micronutrients when consumed in moderation.
