1) Duck eggs have the same taste as chicken eggs but have a much creamier, orange yolk consistency.

8) Duck eggs contain slightly higher amounts of selenium, manganese, zinc, copper, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, calcium and iron.

9)The large size of the duck egg allows consumers to get more yolk for their money.

11)Duck eggs contain more amounts of essential amino acids including: proline, serine, threonine, trytophan, tyrosine valine, alanine, arginine,aspartic acid, cystine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine,leucine,lysine, methionine, and phenylalanine.

Although duck eggs contain 884 mg of cholesterol, they are the better diet choice when consumed sensibly.

With moderate daily exercise, the fat content from duck eggs can also aid the body’s natural ability to process fat into much-needed energy.
