Description
Pre-cooked Salted Black Duck Eggs (Pidan / Century Egg) - 6 x 62 g
Black duck eggs, popularly known as century eggs or pidan, are a well-known specialty in Asian cuisine with roots in Chinese culinary tradition. The eggs are produced by preserving duck eggs in a combination of charcoal and slaked lime, a method that over time transforms both the yolk and the white into their characteristic dark green and translucent appearance. The result is a product with a distinct, umami-rich taste experience and a silky-smooth, almost cheese-like consistency that clearly differentiates it from ordinary boiled eggs. On the surface of the egg white, during the preservation process, a decorative crystalline pattern emerges, which in Chinese is called "Songhua" and visually resembles pine tree branches. The eggs are pre-cooked and ready to use - they can be served directly after removing the shell, sliced and arranged with soy sauce and ginger, or used as a flavouring ingredient in hot dishes such as rice porridge, wonton soup, and noodle broth. The texture is firm on the outside with a creamy, almost liquid yolk that adds a rich depth to dishes. The package contains six individually wrapped eggs, each with a net weight of 62 grams, placed in a transparent plastic tray that ensures protection during storage and shipping. The product is naturally gluten-free and suitable for people following a gluten-free diet. Storage should be in a cool place and away from direct sunlight to best preserve taste and quality. Century eggs are aimed at food enthusiasts and chefs looking for authentic Asian ingredients for homemade recipes and are an excellent choice for those who wish to explore traditional Chinese flavour experiences. The product is suitable as an ingredient in Asian cooking, as an accompaniment to cold appetizers, or as an exotic taste experience for the curious palate.
