Preserved duck eggs, also known as century eggs or thousand-year eggs, are a delicacy originating from Chinese cuisine. Despite their name, they are typically cured over several weeks using a mixture of clay, ash, salt, quicklime, and rice hulls, transforming the yolk into a creamy texture and the whites into a dark, gelatinous form. Rich in flavor with hints of earthiness and umami, these eggs are often used in congee, cold appetizers, or savory sauces. Nutritionally, preserved duck eggs are a good source of protein, essential amino acids, and certain minerals such as iron and selenium. However, they may be high in sodium due to the curing process, which could be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Their fermentation process can alter certain nutrients but adds probiotic benefits that support gut health. Enjoy them as part of a balanced diet for a unique cultural and culinary experience.
