At its core, balut is a fertilized duck egg, incubated for a specific period before being cooked and consumed. The embryo within the egg develops over time, resulting in a unique blend of textures and flavors that challenge conventional gastronomic norms.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Balut-Making_Process\"><\/span>The Balut-Making Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe preparation of balut is an intricate process that involves selecting duck eggs at a specific stage of development. These eggs are incubated for about 14 to 21 days, allowing the embryo to form. Subsequently, the eggs are boiled, and the shells cracked open to reveal the contents. The resulting dish boasts a mix of yolk, egg white, and the partially formed duck embryo.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balut_around_the_World\"><\/span>Balut around the World<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWhile balut finds its roots in the Philippines, variations of this dish can be found in other Southeast Asian countries.
