Eggs, duck, boiled and salted

Boiled and salted duck eggs provide mainly protein and fat, with only trace amounts of carbohydrate and sugars. Per 100g, they contain 15g of protein, 16g of fat, 822 kJ of energy and 4.2g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt content is high, which is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake, as excess salt can raise blood pressure. These eggs also contain vitamin B12, which contributes to normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
