Introduction to Shahe Duck Eggs

Ducks raised in Shahe, Ye County have been raised in the river since childhood without any feed or hormones. Every day, I freely hunt for small fish, shrimp, water plants, screws, etc. in the river. The green skinned red heart duck eggs I lay not only have a beautiful appearance, but also have several times higher nutritional value than ordinary duck eggs

2. Duck eggs still have good nutrition after being marinated. It is rich in fat, protein, and various amino acids required by the human body, as well as various minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and essential trace elements and vitamins. It is also easily absorbed by the human body

Duck eggs have a fishy smell. When eaten fresh, they are not as delicious as eggs. They are commonly used to make Preserved eggs and Salted duck egg. After making Salted duck egg, the yolks become soft and oily, which is very delicious

There are two ways to make Salted duck egg in Shahe. Search for fresh duck eggs of uniform size, wash them, wrap them with yellow mud or straw ash mixed with water and salt, and then put them into a jar with a small mouth and a large belly, seal it for more than a month; Alternatively, soak it directly in salt water, seal it for over a month, and then take it out and cook it thoroughly. After the former is cooked, the yolk can naturally extract red oil and the yolk is fine sand; The latter has a much lower oil yield and a less delicate taste compared to the former
