Fresh Duck Eggs 6 count

"Duck eggs, a specialty ingredient in many Asian recipes, pair wonderfully with the mild, fragrant flavor of Taiwan Rice Wine. Frequently found in Taiwanese and other Asian cuisines, they offer a unique taste and texture. Richer and larger than chicken eggs, they can enhance the depth of a dish. Their subtle, slightly gamey taste pairs nicely with the sweet hints of the rice wine, adding complexity. For health-conscious consumers, they're high in protein and essential fatty acids, offering nutritional benefits."
