About this cut
Our pastured duck breasts might just be the freshest, tastiest kosher duck around, and the fact that our ducks are raised on pasture, without hormones or antibiotics, means you're getting a product that is not only delicious, but healthy and sustainable as well. Duck meat is richer and darker than chicken or turkey, so you can allow a smaller portion per person. Score the skin or prick with a pin so the fat can render out, and sear the skin on these duck breasts until crispy.
At Grow & Behold, we take care every step of the way to make sure our meats are raised well, processed humanely, expertly butchered, carefully packaged, delivered seamlessly and prepared with confidence in your kitchen. It is our great pleasure to bring these delicious meats to your table. We look forward to feeding you soon!

Additional Info
Products are packed with coolant during their journey to ensure they arrive in great shape. Meats will arrive frozen or refrigerated. Most of our products are shipped frozen; occasionally, due to a very quick turnaround between when the meats arrive at our freezing and distribution facility and when they are delivered to you, meats may be shipped fresh. Meat that is cold to the touch can be refrigerated for immediate use, or frozen for later use. Learn more.

Duck Breast
I've never been a big fan of duck but these skin on duck breast were really good.

Duck Breasts
I substituted the breasts for legs in a braised duck dish with olive gremolata. It is a delicious alternative to chicken!

Duck Breast
Breast was not well cleaned, still a lot feathers. The meat had almost no taste and was very chewy Note from Grow & Behold: Thanks for your feedback, Frank! We appreciate it. We're sorry you didn't enjoy the duck, kosher duck is very feathery but we do our very best!

Amazing!
Best duck breast ever! Tender, juicy and full of flavor. Yes there were a lot of pin feathers and to be fair, they did tell me that when I ordered them. Nothing a pair of tweezers and a little time couldn't fix and well worth it to eat this delicious duck. Will definitely order these again

The flavor was amazing and they were tender. Good amount of rendered duck fat. That said the pins fathers are a pain. Very difficult if you are not prepared to deal with them.

I hate those little pins, and did everything I could to get them out but to no avail. The duck meat itself was delicious, however.
I would consider removing the skin, but the fat makes the dish so much more flavorful.

The meat was delicious (as always). My only slight complaint is that there were pin feathers on one of the two breasts.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
---|---|
under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
