Huitre, the French word for oyster, is a nutrient-rich shellfish enjoyed globally, particularly in French and coastal cuisines. High in protein, oysters are an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, including zinc, iron, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients contribute to immune support, brain health, and heart function. Oysters are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy option for those monitoring weight. Their origins trace back to ancient coastal civilizations, and they are prized for their fresh, briny taste and versatility, often served raw, grilled, or in stews. However, they can pose risks if consumed improperly; raw oysters may carry foodborne illnesses, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems. Additionally, they are naturally high in sodium, which may not suit all dietary needs. Still, when sourced responsibly and prepared safely, huitres remain a delicious and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
