Since ancient times, “duck meat†has been frequently used as an aphrodisiac, to the extent that it is often mentioned in Dongbogam. Compared to other meats such as beef, pork, and chicken, duck meat, which has more unsaturated fatty acids, has the effect of lowering cholesterol, making it easy for dieters to enjoy. Also, since it contains a large amount of healthy ingredients such as protein, vitamins, and iron, it is known to have an excellent effect in preventing adult diseases such as high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. Enjoy a healthy diet with duck meat that is both tasty and nutritious. From Gwangjuk duck soup, which fills the filling with rich broth, to mizutaki duck with the flavor of Neungi mushrooms, and duck stew that you enjoy grilling with whole garlic! Here are 5 of the best places to enjoy duck meat as a spring health food.
