About Cuisse de canard
Cuisse de Canard, or duck leg, is a popular dish in French cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavor and tender texture. Typically prepared via confit or roasting, the duck leg is seasoned with herbs, salt, and spices, creating a savory and indulgent experience. Nutritionally, duck meat is a good source of high-quality protein, iron, and B vitamins such as niacin and B12, which support energy production and red blood cell formation. However, duck is higher in fat compared to other protein sources, particularly saturated fat, which can impact heart health if consumed excessively. When cooked confit-style, additional fat is often introduced, increasing calorie content. Despite these considerations, duck’s natural richness makes it a cherished ingredient in culinary traditions, offering a balance of indulgence and nourishment when enjoyed in moderation. Pairing it with vegetables and whole grains can help make it part of a nutrient-dense meal.
