Fresh Duck Eggs
Fresh Duck Eggs are excellent for baking confectionery foods such as cakes, pastries, muffins, and cookies. Some experienced chefs swear by the unique characteristics of farm fresh duck eggs including firmer yolks which retain that shape and texture beyond any chicken eggs or supermarket eggs.
Fresh Duck Eggs also serve as a great alternative to people who may suffer from food allergies to chicken eggs. Many people find that they are able to enjoy products make with duck eggs, while they cannot handle chicken eggs. Of course, you should consult your doctor if you do suffer from food allergies prior to adding duck eggs to your diet.
You may find that fresh duck eggs are the solution you've been searching for to improve your baking and your health! We expertly package these eggs in a special foam crate that is designed to safely ship eggs.

Product Facts
Fresh Duck Egg Info
Fresh Duck eggs have been used for years for their firmer yolks which stand a bit higher than chicken eggs. However, the taste difference between chicken and duck eggs is not significant. They are virtually the same in terms of taste, but duck eggs offer better baking characteristics.
