About Duck egg
A duck egg is the edible egg of a duck, with a shell that may be white, cream, greenish, or otherwise tinted depending on the bird. Its contents have a larger yolk relative to the white than a typical hen’s egg, with a rich yolk and a clear, viscous white when raw.
Duck eggs are cooked and used much like other poultry eggs, including boiling, frying, baking, and incorporation into batters or custards. They are sold fresh in the shell; size, shell colour, and the balance of yolk and white vary, and cooked texture depends on preparation.
