Description

Boneless duck leg is a lean and flavorful cut of meat extracted from the hind legs of the duck, carefully deboned to facilitate its preparation and consumption. This cut is highly valued in cooking for its tender texture and intense flavor, which adds a unique depth to a wide variety of dishes, from stews and casseroles to roasts and grilled recipes.

The duck is a bird that originated in Asia and Europe, and its farming has spread globally, especially in regions where traditional cuisine incorporates poultry as a prominent ingredient. Duck leg is popular in many world cuisines, including French, Chinese, and Latin American.

Regarding its properties, duck leg is a rich source of high-quality protein, in addition to containing healthy fats, especially if cooked properly to take advantage of its unsaturated fatty acid content. It also provides B vitamins, iron, and zinc, essential nutrients for the proper functioning of the body.

In the Hispanic American context, boneless duck leg may also be known as "boneless duck thigh" or simply "boneless duck leg", terms that facilitate its identification in recipes and local markets.
