Salted Duck Egg

Salted Duck Egg is a salted, preserved egg commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines, prized for its firm white and intensely flavored, oil-rich yolk used in congee, mooncakes and savory dishes. It provides about 13g of protein per 100g, delivering a substantial amount of high-quality animal protein in a small portion. While it supplies useful micronutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin B12 and selenium, it is also made by curing in brine and is relatively high in sodium, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for unsalted eggs when reducing salt intake.
