You can buy duck today in any supermarket or bazaar from farmers. It is sold fresh and frozen. Of course, it is better to give preference to fresh carcasses, but you should not be afraid to buy frozen ones either. If you defrost it correctly, then the bird will not lose its useful and taste properties. And correct defrosting consists in the duration, i.e. first in the refrigerator, and then at room temperature until completely thawed.

In addition, it contains trace elements such as selenium, phosphorus, zinc, etc. It is also believed that meat has a positive effect on potency and improves lipid metabolism.
