About Oyster
Oysters are nutrient-rich shellfish known for their unique taste and versatility in cuisines worldwide. Commonly associated with coastal regions and seafood-rich diets, they are a staple in French, Japanese, and American culinary traditions. Oysters are low in calories while rich in essential nutrients like zinc, vitamin B12, copper, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to brain health, immune support, and heart health. They are also a good source of protein, making them a valuable addition to balanced meals. However, raw oysters may contain bacteria like Vibrio, posing risks to individuals with weakened immune systems. Additionally, their high sodium content can be concerning for those with hypertension. When properly cooked or sourced from trusted suppliers, oysters are a delicious and nutritious option that blends well with bold flavors like citrus and garlic, offering a boost to both health and gourmet meals.
