Delicious and healthy, too
All ducks are not created equal! When it comes to taste, nutritional values and low fat content, our Muscovy duck not only outshines the competition, it also compares very favorably to most other meats. Would you have thought that Muscovy duck is leaner than turkey? And did you know that chicken has twice the fat content of Guinea fowl? By including Muscovy duck and Guinea fowl in your diet, you not only add variety to your meals: you actually do something good for your health!
