Homemade “Bangers”

Homemade “Bangers” are a great way to add quality protein to breakfast—just mix some seasonings with ground pork, form it into a patty, and sear it. This seasoning mix mimics a traditional English banger.

Featured Ingredients

A single 3.5-ounce serving of ground pork provides at least 10% or more of the daily value of 15 different nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, functional fats, and protein.

Herbs and spices do so much more than flavor our food! As concentrated sources of beneficial phytonutrients, they provide diverse health benefits such as reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some forms of cancer.

Ginger is an absolute rockstar when it comes to boosting our health. While it’s most famous for treating nausea and other gastrointestinal problems, ginger has also been found to have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, lung-protective, anti-pain, and antimicrobial properties across a wide body of scientific research!  All these benefits are related to its high concentration of phenolic compounds.
