Duck with orange

Duck is an especially good source of zinc, which is essential for boosting the immune system, since one 100 gram serving contains 17% of the daily recommended intake. It’s also a great source of selenium, needed for proper thyroid function, and vitamins B-5 and B-12, which are essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system.

Since duck can be a fattier cut of meat it’s very important to prepare it without using any additional oils or fats. All Zepter cookware allows for frying without the use of oils or fats and cooking without water. This allows for the retainment of the highest possible mineral and nutrient value. Food is more flavorful, since the natural aromas are preserved, yet healthier!

Today we’ve prepared a recipe for orange duck, a dish that’s sure to leave an impression!
