Description/Taste

Seasons/Availability
Ducks lay eggs year-round with brief gaps in Late Winter/Spring during molting season.
Applications
If you have never tried duck eggs, experiment with them using many traditional egg applications, such as fried, poached and baking. Of course, you can hard-boil and pickle them too!
