Duck hearts are a nutrient-dense organ meat loaded with protein, essential vitamins, and minerals. Popular in various cuisines worldwide, particularly French and Asian cooking, they are prized for their tender texture and rich, gamey flavor. Duck hearts are an excellent source of B-vitamins like B12 and niacin, which support energy metabolism and brain health, along with iron and zinc for immune and blood health. They also contain CoQ10, an antioxidant that promotes heart function and cellular energy. While low in carbohydrates, duck hearts are relatively high in cholesterol and saturated fat, so moderation is advised for those monitoring heart health. Often prepared grilled, sautéed, or stewed, duck hearts are a versatile option that can elevate dishes while delivering robust nutritional benefits.
