Duck eggs: benefits and harm. What to cook from duck eggs


Duck eggs are used in cooking along with chicken eggs. Like its analogue, this product is suitable for baking.

Duck eggs are widely used in baking. They grip the dough better and are more elastic. Duck eggs are much better than chicken eggs when cooking yeast-raised foods such as bread and biscuits. This factor is caused by the higher viscosity of the protein. To prepare a sponge cake, simply replace chicken eggs with duck eggs in the recipe. The same goes for bread products.

Among other baked goods, sponge cookies should be highlighted. The consistency of liquid duck eggs allows you to make baked goods fluffy and soft. The specific aroma of eggs can be overcome by spices, such as ground cinnamon or ginger. When preparing cookies, prepare the two liquid components of the dough separately—white and yolk. The first must be beaten with sugar, the second must be ground by hand.

In addition, duck eggs make more nutritious savory baked goods.

Where can I buy them?

Duck eggs are a very rare product, so you won’t be able to buy them in a regular store. They can be found either on farms that breed egg-laying ducks or in specialty stores. In rare cases, duck eggs are sold at collective farm markets. Egg-laying ducks are bred in Russia in Siberia and the Central region, and China supplies the product to the world market.

To summarize, it is necessary to say once again that you can safely buy duck eggs, the benefits and harms of which depend, as already said, on the characteristics of the body of each individual person. The main thing when eating eggs is to wash them well and cook for 12-13 minutes.

Perhaps everyone knows what a chicken egg looks like. What about duck? What is the difference between both products and can duck eggs be eaten at all?

With cucumber, celery and radish

Salad with duck meat and eggs. Tomatoes used instead of radishes

To prepare this salad you will need:

    250 grams of poultry meat 2 duck eggs 100 grams of celery. Both root and fresh will do 3 cucumbers 4-5 radishes Bell pepper 3 tablespoons lemon juice Teaspoon sugar 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and butter Parsley, salt and spices to taste

  4. Cut cucumbers and radishes into semicircles
  5. Chop the eggs
  6. Mix the ingredients, add salt, spices, sugar and lemon juice
  7. Season with mayonnaise and chopped herbs, stir. Garnish with chopped pepper

What they look like

A duck egg is larger than a chicken egg (by 30 percent), and its shell is also much stronger. So it will take a little effort to break it. Thanks to the strong outer shell and dense inner membrane, the product can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

The color of the shell depends on the breed of duck. There are white, ash, light green, brown. There is also a visual difference in the “insides” of the shell. The yolk is larger and lighter than a chicken egg, and the white is almost transparent.

Shelf life of eggs

To find out whether an egg is fresh or not, you need to place it in a container filled with water. If it sank, it means it’s fresh; if it floats, it’s better not to eat it. Fresh product should be stored under the following conditions:

  • they cannot be stored next to meat products;
  • Duck eggs should be stored in the refrigerator for less than seven days;
  • since most often duck eggs are very dirty, they need to be washed thoroughly, preferably with soap;
  • A boiled egg should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than three days.

Sometimes it is difficult to determine the freshness of duck eggs, so their shelf life is very short.

Beneficial features

According to the results of many studies, scientists have reassured lovers of duck eggs: this product is as safe as chicken eggs.
It is rarely considered as a source of dangerous salmonella. In addition, duck eggs belong to the group of alkaline foods that can regulate the acidity of the human body. The result of this effect is a reduced risk of developing malignant tumors (cancer cells die in an alkaline environment). But the chicken product, according to some statements by scientists, on the contrary, increases the level of acidity. The omega-3 fatty acids contained in duck eggs make the product beneficial for brain and heart function. People who don't have enough meat in their diet may be lacking choline. You can replenish your reserves of this substance from duck yolk. By the way, scientists present evidence that a deficiency of choline in the body leads to fatty degeneration of the liver.

Folic acid makes duck a valuable product for pregnant women and nursing mothers; this vitamin is also important for maintaining mental health. The amount of folic acid contained in one duck egg corresponds to two chicken eggs. For people with poor eyesight, this product will serve as a source of vitamin A. Eggs are also good for the skin - as a source of vitamin E, and also for the nervous system - thanks to B vitamins.

Potassium makes them important for the heart and blood vessels, vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus - for bones, sodium takes care of fluid balance.

Another plus in favor of the duck product is that it practically does not cause allergic reactions. Chicken eggs, as you know, belong to allergenic products, which cannot be said about duck, goose or quail eggs. Although it is difficult to speak in general terms about allergic reactions, each body can react differently. Hence the doctors’ advice: introduce any new product (even in adulthood) into the diet in small portions, studying the body’s reactions.

Summarize

  • Duck eggs are a tasty treat that are worth trying if you find them on sale. You can use them just like chicken eggs and enjoy their richer flavor and fattier texture.
  • They are larger in size and slightly more nutritious than chicken eggs. They also contain antioxidants and important compounds that can promote the health of your eyes and brain, and protect you from age-related diseases or infections.
  • If you have an allergy to eggs or are advised to limit their consumption for other reasons, consult your doctor before including them in your diet.
