Duck Breast

Duck Breast is the boneless breast muscle from duck, commonly used in French and East Asian cuisines where it is prized for its rich flavor and crispable skin. It is a versatile cut that is often seared, roasted or grilled and served medium-rare to retain tenderness. Nutrition-wise, Duck Breast is a notable source of lean animal protein, providing about 23g of protein per 100g while also contributing substantial fat that gives the meat its characteristic taste and mouthfeel. It contains little to no carbohydrates or fiber and supplies important micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium. From a health perspective, this cut delivers high-quality amino acids and useful levels of B12 and selenium, but its higher overall and saturated fat content means portion size and cooking method (removing or rendering excess skin/fat) are useful considerations if you are watching saturated fat intake.
