About Oyster
A common seafood, good as a shellfish nutrition reference.
Health Benefits of Oyster
The zinc champion of natural foods
100g of oyster has 73 kcal, 10.9g protein; its zinc ranks among the top of all natural foods - the recognized go-to for zinc. Zinc activates hundreds of enzymes, crucial for immunity, growth and reproductive health.
Rich in several trace minerals
Beyond zinc it is rich in iron, copper, selenium and B12. Copper is a key cofactor for collagen/elastin synthesis, selenium is antioxidant - making oyster a highly nutrient-dense seafood.

Eat raw (sashimi-grade) or grilled, steamed, roasted. For raw, ensure clean water and controlled cold-chain transport; those with weak immunity should cook it. Garlic-roasted oysters are ~40-60 kcal each; roast 3-4 min on high until the meat shrinks and juices bubble, with garlic and lemon for best flavour.
