About Duck Egg
A common egg; bigger than chicken eggs with a higher yolk ratio.
Health Benefits of Duck Egg
70-80g per egg; ~1.3x chicken-egg protein
A duck egg weighs about 70-80g, roughly a third larger than a chicken egg (50-60g). It delivers more protein and energy per egg, about 1.3 chicken eggs' worth, good when extra protein is needed.
Yolk is ~35% of the egg
The duck-egg yolk makes up about 35% of the egg, above a chicken egg's ~30%. Rich in lecithin, vitamin A and unsaturated fats, it gives a fuller, richer taste; golden, fragrant when scrambled.
Nutrition changes after curing
Duck eggs are most often made into salted eggs. Salting sets the white and makes the yolk oily and rich, but sharply raises sodium - one salted duck egg can exceed a third of the daily sodium limit, so keep it within half an egg per meal.
