How to choose fresh and safe duck meat
For unprocessed ducks
- You should choose ducks with shiny white feathers, with no downy feathers visible on the inside, and with fully grown outer feathers.
- Additionally, a good duck will have a round, plump breast, and thick skin on the neck and belly. If the wings can cross over each other, it indicates that the duck is mature, easy to pluck, and has plenty of meat.
- Avoid selecting ducks with frizzy feathers, a foul smell, or those that appear lethargic, as they may be sick.
For processed ducks
- You should choose ducks that have a uniform light yellow color, are bright, and feel fresh.
- When buying, you can gently press on the duck meat with your hand to feel for firmness and elasticity; these are signs of good quality duck.
- Avoid ducks with dark skin or with bruised spots; if you press and it feels soft and mushy, has a foul smell, or is watery, it indicates that the duck has been stored for too long, is no longer fresh, and is not of good quality.
