About Raw hamburger patty

Raw hamburger patties are uncooked portions of ground beef, often seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. They are a staple in American cuisine but are also widely used internationally in dishes like burgers and tartare. Ground beef in raw form is rich in protein, providing approximately 17–19 grams per 100 grams serving, and contains essential micronutrients like iron and zinc. It is typically made from cuts of beef such as chuck or round and has varying fat contents ranging from lean (90%) to regular (70%). While nutrient-dense, consuming raw hamburger patties carries food safety risks and should be handled carefully to avoid contamination with pathogens like E. coli or Salmonella. Cooking thoroughly reduces risks associated with raw meat consumption while unlocking further flavors and textures.
