Nutritional values

With a burger you fill up almost 60 percent of your daily requirement of zinc and 80 percent of biotin. The trace element zinc is indispensable for the function of numerous enzymes and some hormones and is important for our immune system. The vitamin biotin has a positive effect on skin and hair and is needed for the metabolism of fat, protein and carbohydrates.

Vegetarian variation: Put slices of hard-boiled eggs instead of meat on the buns. - If you can't get watercress, take 2 beds of garden cress; you can get them in any supermarket.
