Healthy Hamburgers

Before getting to the recipe, a word about the quality of beef or any kind of cattle meat.

The primary differentiating factor is grass vs. grain fed cattle. The issue is the modern American diet is too high in Omega-6 fatty acids. But beef has not always been so high in Omega-6 fat. It was only with the introduction of grain fed cattle. In contrast, grass fed beef has a healthier balance between the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. So the moral of the story is to always buy grass fed meats. Just remember that grass is always better than grain!
