About Hot dog, beef

The beef hot dog is a cured, finely emulsified sausage built for speed: simmered or grilled, dropped in a soft bun and topped with whatever you like. It is a fixture of ballparks, cookouts and street carts, prized for being cheap, quick and reliably tasty.

It is also a processed meat, and the nutrition reflects that. A beef frank runs around 310 calories per 100 grams, with most of those calories coming from fat, and it carries a heavy load of sodium and curing agents alongside its protein. Processed meats are the ones health bodies suggest eating sparingly rather than daily.

As an occasional treat it is hard to beat for convenience and flavor. Eaten often, the salt and saturated fat add up, so it sits firmly in the once-in-a-while column for most people.

Nutrition data from USDA FoodData Central & FooDB. Values are per 100 g, edible portion.
