article Chicken, duck and quail eggs?
While Kakadoodle started with chicken eggs, we have expanded to a lot more! We are not just talking about the microgreens, bison and A-2 milk. We also have added several varieties of eggs. In addition to chicken eggs, you can also order duck and quail eggs. Since you don't find duck or quail eggs in the typical grocery store, we wanted to compare them for you.
1. Size: Chicken eggs are the largest of the three, followed by duck eggs and then quail eggs.
2. Shell texture: Duck eggs have a thicker and tougher shell compared to chicken eggs, while quail eggs have a thinner and more delicate shell.
3. Yolk to white ratio: Duck eggs have a larger yolk to white ratio compared to chicken eggs, making them richer and creamier. Quail eggs have a smaller yolk to white ratio than both chicken and duck eggs.
4. Nutritional value: Duck eggs have more fat, protein, and cholesterol than chicken eggs. Quail eggs have the highest protein content and contain more vitamins and minerals than chicken or duck eggs.
5. Taste: The taste of the eggs varies depending on the bird's diet, but generally, duck eggs have a stronger and richer flavor than chicken eggs. Quail eggs are milder in flavor and are often described as being similar to chicken eggs, but with a slightly sweeter taste.
6. Culinary use: Because of their size and flavor, duck eggs are often used in baking and pastry-making. Quail eggs are commonly used in Asian cuisine, particularly in dishes like sushi and ramen. Chicken eggs are the most versatile and widely used in cooking and baking.
