What is this Taste?
Duck eggs taste much like a chicken egg. Depending upon your taste buds, duck eggs have been described as richer or more creamy.
YOLK -The yolk is larger making more space available for natural antibodies.
WHITE – Due to a different protein content, the albumen is clear and cooks faster than chicken eggs so cook on low heat.
SHELL – Be prepared to crack a hard shell. The hard shell is what extends the shelf life of duck eggs.
FREE RANGE – Ducks are better grazers than chickens.
