Duck meat is considered a good source of protein and Luv-a-Duck's Skinless Duck Breast has 20grams of protein per 100g breast.
Duck contains iron, a very important mineral in our diet for many functions. It is essential for haemoglobin, a part of our red blood cell that carries oxygen around our body, in myoglobin which stores oxygen in our muscles, as part of enzymes for energy production and for our immune system to fight infection.
Duck has many of the nutrients important for our immune system, such as iron, zinc, selenium and protein. A healthy immune system is critical for us all. Support a healthy immune system by including a wide range of foods in your diet such as small amounts of duck alongside plant foods- the perfect combination.
Most duck recipes have you render off most of the fat, leaving a lean meat. You could also remove the skin, but Luv-a-Duck have made that easy for you with their NEW Skinless Duck breast fillets.
We often think of B group vitamins for energy and there is a good reason why. Many of the B group vitamins such as Vitamins B1, B3 and B5 are important in the breakdown of our food into energy the body can use. Duck is particularly known for vitamin B12 and B3 (Niacin).
