About Salted Duck Egg
Traditional salted-cured eggs; savoury, oily yolk, high sodium.
Health Benefits of Salted Duck Egg
High-sodium cured egg; control portion
Salted duck eggs are cured in brine or clay, so salt firms the white and the yolk's fat separates into a rich, flowing oil. Protein and fat are largely unchanged, but sodium rises sharply - one can deliver a third to half of the daily sodium allowance.
Pair with plain staples to ease sodium
Salted eggs are salty and easy to overshoot sodium on their own. The classic pairing is plain congee or steamed buns, whose mild taste offsets the salt. Or crush the salted yolk into dishes (salted-yolk pumpkin/corn) for flavour while cutting salt.
High sodium 1.5-2.5g/100g; max half an egg
Salted duck eggs hold roughly 1.5-2.5g sodium per 100g depending on cure; a 60-70g egg has about 1-1.7g. People with hypertension or a need to control sodium should eat no more than half an egg, or choose low-salt cured versions.
