There is a common theme among healthy alternatives where the health benefits come at the cost of the tasting experience. Flavor can be dulled, different, or flat out bad. Healthy meat alternatives that check all the boxes can be difficult to find but with Duck Bacon, you don’t have to sacrifice the taste, texture or look for a healthier option.
Before being cooked, duck meat can contain a thicker layer of fat compared to other meats. When cooked and prepared properly different cuts of duck allow for the fat to be nearly completely rendered off, making duck a healthier option over cuts of chicken, duck and beef. Duck Breast and Duck Bacon both have an array of health benefits. From necessary vitamins to monosaturated fats, duck meat is a nutritious and delicious protein. The monosaturated fats found in Duck Bacon are much more heart friendly. Compared to traditional pork bacon, Duck Bacon is 57% percent lower in fat. When cooked, Duck Bacon only takes a few minutes on the skillet to crisp up to perfection. Once it is prepared to your preferred crispiness, it can be eaten as a standalone side, on sandwiches, in quesadillas, or even in desserts like brittle and ice cream!
Caesar Salad is beloved by people everywhere and adding in some perfectly crunchy Duck Bacon is just one way to switch things up every now and then.

Duck Bacon shines in every dish it makes an appearance in, but breakfast is where it all started. Bacon and eggs became popularized in America around the 1920’s and are still a delicious staple in households today. After it’s run as a stand-alone side dish for breakfast, people started to incorporate it into other dishes such as omelets and French Toast.
