Histamine Tracker
Duck eggs
Duck eggs behave similarly to chicken eggs — the white is more likely to cause issues than the yolk.
Duck eggs are larger and richer than chicken eggs, but the histamine story is roughly the same.
-
Egg white concern — like chicken egg whites, duck egg whites may prompt the body to release stored histamine in some people, making them more of a consideration than the yolk
-
Larger yolk-to-white ratio — duck eggs naturally have a larger yolk relative to the white, which some people find makes them easier to work with when reducing egg white intake
Fully cooked duck eggs are generally better tolerated than soft-boiled or raw preparations.
