About Duck egg

Duck eggs are a nutrient-dense food enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Chinese, Filipino, and Thai dishes. Larger than chicken eggs, duck eggs have a thicker shell and boast a creamy texture with a rich flavor, making them a favorite in baking and gourmet cooking. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, they also contain minerals like selenium and iron, supporting energy and immune health. Their higher fat and cholesterol content, compared to chicken eggs, can be a concern for some, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health. Duck eggs are excellent for those seeking a nutrient-rich alternative to regular eggs and are especially favored for their contribution to moist baked goods and intricate recipes.
