Duck eggs vs Chicken eggs |
Duck Eggs are an Alkaline
producing food - Anti cancer food - much
better
Farm Fresh eggs with a rich smooth
orange yolk whether Chicken eggs or Duck eggs will
surprise you if you have only experienced the colorless
and flavorless supermarket versions. What most people
do not know is that Duck eggs are far superior to
Chicken eggs with the same taste and richer smoother
consistency yet better than a chicken egg in many
ways
1. Duck eggs have twice the nutritional value
of a chicken egg and stay fresher longer due to
their thicker shell.
2. Duck eggs are richer with more Albumen making
cakes and pastries fluffier and richer.
3. Duck Eggs have more Omega 3 fatty acids ..something
you can actually see in the salted pickled eggs
the Chinese love to eat. Omega 3 is thought to
improve everything from Brain health to healthy
skin and
4. Duck Eggs are an Alkaline producing food, one
of the few foods that leave your body more alkaline
which is a great benefit to cancer patients as
cancer cells do not thrive in an alkaline environment.
Chicken eggs are an acid food leaving your body
more acid.
There is one reason why many people are scared to
try a duck egg and that is that the yolk contains
about a 1 day supply of Cholesterol ..which is not
good for heart diseases..well ... This depends on
what you believe about weight control and fat or
cholesterol. We are only just beginning to understand
the real effects of eating fat in our diet. In practice
we know that healthy active people who exercise
need fat in their diet, otherwise their bodies would
generate the cholesterol itself. So good (HDL) cholesterol
is good and will stop your body from producing its
own cholesterol. Your body needs to know how to
process fat and get the energy benefits. If it forgets
how to process fat or has easier sources of fast
energy as from hydro carbons then guess what, your
body stores the fat as an energy source ...hence
your love handles are really stored energy.
All the above says there are great benefits from
eating an egg a day...yolk and all. No YOLK -
is not good advice - No Joke!
Egg Allergy Substitutes: One health
benefit with duck eggs is that most people who
are allergic to chicken eggs are able to eat duck
eggs without allergic reactions.
Duck Eggs Vs Chicken Eggs: Size
Duck eggs are quite large compared to chicken
eggs, which makes them easily distinguishable.
Another distinct difference is that the duck egg's
shell is a lot tougher than a normal chicken egg's
shell. Though that makes them a lot more difficult
to crack, it is also supposed to provide them
with a considerably longer shelf life. By long,
I mean six weeks at maximum, if you keep them
refrigerated.
The large size of the duck egg gives it a larger
yoke to white ratio than a chicken egg. So if
you want more yoke, duck eggs are what you should
go for. With the larger size you definitely get
more for your money, compared to a chicken egg!
Duck Eggs Vs Chicken Eggs: Nutrition
6x the Vitamin D, 2x the Vitamin A, and 2x the
cholesterol in duck eggs vs chicken eggs. Duck
contains about 75% of the Vitamin E in chicken
eggs. Duck eggs reportedly also have more Vitamin
K2, Duck eggs also are higher in calories for
the same weight quantity, probably due to it's
slightly higher fat concentration. Also, keep
in mind that the eggs of free-range, pastured
animals generally have higher levels of vitamins
and higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids. The
yolks are darker, yellower, indicating a higher
nutrient density.
A 100 gm of duck egg will provide about 185 KCal
of energy, compared to 149 KCal of energy provided
by a chicken egg. Both types of eggs, match each
other in terms of carbohydrate content, while
the protein content is slightly higher in the
duck eggs compared to chicken eggs. The mineral
content of duck eggs is very similar. Both contain
selenium, manganese, zinc, copper, potassium,
sodium, phosphorus, calcium and iron. The duck
eggs contain slightly higher amounts of all these
minerals.
Same is the case with vitamin content in both
of them. The vitamin content too is similar, but
duck eggs have a higher amount of each one of
them, which includes thiamin, niacin, riboflavin,
pantothenic acid, folate, vitamin B6, vitamin
D, vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and retinol.
100 gm of duck eggs will have about 3.68 gm of
saturated fat, compared to 3.1 gm in chicken eggs.
The mono unsaturated fat content is about 50%
more in duck eggs as against chicken eggs. The
amino acid content profile is also similar for
both eggs, but again duck eggs contain more of
them. The amino acids included are threonine,
isoleucine, trytophan, leucine, methionine, lysine,
cystine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, valine, serine,
glycine, proline, aspartic acid, histidine, alanine,
and arginine. The only minus point that duck eggs
have is the considerably higher cholesterol content,
compared to chicken eggs. 100 gm of duck eggs
will contain 884 mg of cholesterol, compared to
425 mg in chicken eggs. That is why, people with
history of heart disease should stay away from
consuming duck eggs or moderate their intake.
Duck Eggs Vs Chicken Eggs: Taste &
Utility
Duck eggs provide a taste that is different and
tastier than chicken eggs according to most users.
Individual tastes might vary, so it is best if
you try one out to decide! Every thing that you
do with a chicken egg, can be done with a duck
egg. That includes scrambling them, poaching and
baking. In fact, most expert bakers report that
using duck eggs makes their cakes rise higher
and provides them with excellent taste due to
their high fat content. As the water content in
duck eggs is lesser than chicken eggs, you need
to be careful not to overcook them, which has
a tendency to make them rubbery. The larger water
content also makes the duck egg white harder to
whip but they are worth the effort. Salted ducks
eggs are a popular Chinese recipe that you might
want to try out.
