Salted Duck Egg Yolk
Salted Duck Egg Yolk is the deeply flavored, cured yolk from duck eggs commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine—often grated over rice, mooncakes, or used to enrich sauces and pastries. It is prized for its rich umami, grainy texture and intense golden-orange color. Nutritionally, salted duck egg yolk is a concentrated source of fat and protein and also provides a notable amount of choline (700mg per 100g), a nutrient important for brain and liver function; because it is a preserved product it is also quite salty and used sparingly. From a health perspective, the yolk offers a high-quality amino acid profile and several trace minerals, but its elevated salt and saturated fat content mean it’s best enjoyed in small portions rather than as an everyday ingredient.
