A study conducted this year by the prestigious magazine Business Insider states that 25% of the interests displayed on social media are about food. Similarly, 57% of the topics covered on Pinterest are based on gastronomy. Intrigued by the news, we set out to investigate which are the 5 most famous dishes on social media. Here are the results. We also leave you a recipe from each category so you can prepare them at home and show them off through social media with your photos.

Burgers

It's no surprise. Every time we log into Facebook or our Instagram account, we come across at least one or two of the kings of sandwiches. They can be classic burgers, some massive ones, or variations with chicken, salmon, or triple decker. This is the most posted dish on the planet.

Ices / Cupcakes

Desserts couldn't be missing, and ice creams are at the top of the list. It might be due to their eye-catching appearance; the same goes for cupcakes, which not only look delicious but are colorful and extravagantly decorated. Of course, the star ingredient and common thread in most photos is chocolate.

Salads / Vegetarian

One might think that all these photographs found under the hashtag #foodporn would be decadent, but there is a large audience for low-calorie dishes like wraps and salads. Of course, the photos are not of simple vegetables or garden salads; we have combinations of radish with pesto and spiced hummus.

Eggs

Surprised? It may not be the most extravagant ingredient, but it is one of the most common at home. Of course, we can see it on Twitter and other networks in various forms: boiled, scrambled, fried, devilishly spicy, etc. Most of these photos can be found under the hashtags #egg and #breakfast

Pasta

Could it be that they look so delicious coming out of the pan, silky from the butter and overflowing with fresh sauces? Also, being such an easy and versatile ingredient, many amateurs and professionals use it in the kitchen and showcase the delicious results under the names #pasta #italian #spaghetti.
