About Duck, domesticated, meat only, raw

Duck is a dark, full-flavored poultry that eats more like red meat than chicken. This entry is the meat only, with the skin removed — and that distinction matters, because most of a duck's fat sits in and just under the skin. Skinless duck meat is far leaner than the crisp-skinned roast duck served in restaurants.

At roughly 135 calories per 100 grams, skinless duck delivers a generous dose of protein along with iron, zinc, selenium and B vitamins, especially B12 and niacin. Its deep red color comes from a high content of myoglobin, the same oxygen-carrying pigment that makes beef red, which is why duck breast is often cooked to a rosy medium rather than well done.

Cooks usually score and render the fatty skin to crisp it, then serve duck with something bright and acidic — orange, cherry or plum — to cut the richness. Eaten without the skin it is a surprisingly lean source of high-quality protein.
