HEALTH & BENEFITS

This recipe is relatively high in protein thanks to the ground chuck, and the fresh herbs and ginger add a boost of antioxidants. Shiitake mushrooms are also a good source of vitamins and minerals such as copper, selenium, and vitamin B2.
However, be mindful of the high fat content of the burger and the use of peanut oil, which is high in omega-6 fatty acids and should be consumed in moderation.
