About Duck
Duck is a flavorful and nutrient-rich poultry option, commonly used in cuisines such as Chinese, French, and Southeast Asian. Known for its tender, rich meat and distinctive taste, duck is often featured in dishes like Peking duck, confit de canard, and duck curry. Nutritionally, duck is a good source of protein, iron, and B vitamins, which support energy metabolism and red blood cell production. Its dark meat contains healthy unsaturated fats, particularly in the skin, offering omega-3 fatty acids that benefit heart health. However, duck is higher in fat and calories compared to chicken or turkey, particularly if consumed with the skin. Removing the skin reduces fat content significantly for a leaner option. Including duck as part of a balanced diet can be a satisfying way to enjoy protein-rich meals while being mindful of portion sizes and preparation methods.
