Ostras, known as oysters in English, are bivalve mollusks cherished worldwide for their unique flavor and nutritional benefits. Commonly associated with seafood cuisine, they are particularly prominent in French, Japanese, and coastal American dishes. Oysters provide a rich source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals such as zinc, copper, and selenium, which support immunity, heart health, and skin function. They are also low in calories and saturated fats, making them a diet-friendly option when consumed fresh or steamed. However, they can be high in sodium, and some preparation methods, like frying or pairing with heavy sauces, may reduce their health benefits. Often served raw on the half shell or cooked in stews, oysters have a long history of being regarded as both a culinary delicacy and an aphrodisiac. Their sustainable farming practices also contribute positively to marine ecosystems.
