About Duck eggs

Duck eggs are a flavorful alternative to chicken eggs, prized in many cuisines, particularly Chinese and Southeast Asian cooking. Larger and richer than chicken eggs, they boast a more robust yolk and a creamy texture, ideal for baking, savory dishes, or custards. Nutritionally, duck eggs are packed with protein, essential vitamins like B12, A, and D, and minerals such as selenium and iron. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart and brain health. However, they are higher in cholesterol and fat compared to chicken eggs, so moderation is key for those watching cholesterol levels. Duck eggs are often appreciated in paleo and keto diets for their rich nutrient profile. Their thicker shells also give them a longer shelf life when properly refrigerated. For individuals with chicken egg allergies, duck eggs can offer a tasty and nutritious alternative.
