Balut is a hard boiled duck egg that incubated between 16 to 25 days. It is a partial developed duck embryo from a 27 to 30days hatching process.
How to eat balut like a pro
Now we come to the exciting part: eating balut. The process is unlike eating your regular boiled egg, so read closely:
- Find the rounder, flatter end of the egg, and crack a small hole. The balut is filled with natural broth, so you don’t want to open it up at once. Try not to spill any of the tasty liquid – it’s the bomb!
- Sprinkle a bit of salt into the hole. Swish the broth gently and slurp it in one go.
- Peel away. Whether
you eat the embryo first or last depends on your liking. But the pros
usually eat the creamy egg yolk first and save the best (embryo) for
last. The white part, also called bato (stone), tends to be tough and difficult to chew, so just toss it away.
