Duck eggs are not widely commercially available, so most often they can be found in specialized stores or on farms where ducks are bred. Duck eggs are usually dirty, so it is recommended that you wash them thoroughly with soap and water before preparing food. A characteristic feature of a duck egg is its short shelf life. After purchasing eggs, it is best to eat them as soon as possible.
Many people have a question: do duck eggs eat? They do eat, but not everyone may like them. A duck egg has a specific strong smell and taste, as well as a special elastic consistency. The protein of duck eggs is richer in fatty substances than the protein of a hen's egg, and this determines its viscous consistency.
The situation is different in cases where a duck egg is used as one of the ingredients in a dish. Sometimes duck eggs are used in making noodles. In particular, duck egg yolk is ideal for noodles. Mayonnaise is industrially produced, the base of which is duck egg yolk.
