Frankfurters, commonly known as hot dogs, are a type of sausage traditionally made from finely ground beef, pork, or a combination of both, mixed with spices and seasonings. Originating in Germany, they are named after Frankfurt, where they were popularly consumed. The mixture is packed into casings and typically smoked or cooked. Nutritionally, frankfurters are known for being a convenient source of protein, but they can also be high in saturated fats, sodium, and additives like preservatives. While they provide energy, their processed nature makes them less ideal for frequent consumption, especially for those monitoring salt intake or striving for a heart-healthy diet. Opting for varieties labeled low-fat or nitrate-free can be a healthier choice. Often enjoyed grilled or steamed in many cuisines, they are a staple in fast food and backyard barbecues, often paired with bread, mustard, and a variety of toppings.
