What You Should Know

You'd find these glossy brioche hamburger buns in the supermarket bread aisle or on a grocery list before weekend cookouts and casual burger nights, bringing an indulgent, slightly nostalgic vibe. Their soft, pillowy texture and sweet, buttery taste come from refined flours, added sugars, butter and multiple emulsifiers and starches—hallmarks of industrial processing that aim for consistent texture, extended shelf life and convenience (characteristic of ultra-processed/NOVA 4 products).
