„The Wild Bite": New Wild Garlic Burger at Le Burger
Chief Process Officer at Le Burger, Lukas Teschmit, has refined his new creation with a portion of "wild garlic", the wild garlic from local forests. The wild garlic burger combines a smashed beef patty made from minced heifer meat, cottage cheese, fresh wild garlic leaves, tomatoes, and allergen-free wild garlic pesto based on sunflower seeds. The burger is served in the in-house brioche bun. This wild delicacy is available for 12.90 euros from April 14th until the end of the wild garlic season on May 1st in all Le Burger burger manufactories in Austria and Munich.
The Myth of Wild Garlic: From Bear Power Food to Local Superfood
The "wild garlic", Latin Allium ursinum (bear's garlic), is not only a culinary highlight of local cuisine but also surrounded by ancient myths. The Germanic people attributed protective powers against evil spirits to it, and medieval herbalists used it for "blood purification". A legend says that bears specifically ate wild garlic after hibernation to strengthen themselves. Wild garlic is considered a true immune booster: with three times more vitamin C than oranges, a portion of wild garlic pesto covers the daily requirement. Additionally, the sulfur compounds it contains, such as allicin, support the liver and kidneys in natural detoxification. Studies also show blood pressure-lowering effects and a positive impact on cholesterol levels. The essential oils of wild garlic promote healthy digestion and combat harmful bacteria in the gut. "Our pesto consciously avoids nuts – instead, we rely on sunflower seeds from Austria. This makes 'The Wild Bite' enjoyable for allergy sufferers as well," emphasizes Le Burger COO Daniel Chuchlik.
