How nutritional is duck? Is it healthy to eat?
White Pekin duck is a healthy and nutritious alternative to other meats, because the fat is almost all in the skin, not in the meat, giving cooks the option of limiting the fat without sacrificing much flavor. Plus, duck fat is low in saturated fats. New research is revealing that duck fat has similar properties to olive oil! A three-ounce serving of skinless White Pekin duck contains only two grams fat and 0.5 grams of saturated fat.
