Oysters are highly nutritious mollusks found in coastal waters and widely enjoyed in cuisines around the world, particularly in French, Japanese, and American dishes. Known for their briny, mineral-rich flavor, oysters are rich in essential nutrients like protein, zinc, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a great choice for supporting immune health, brain function, and heart health. They also provide vitamin B12, which boosts energy and supports nerve health, as well as selenium, an antioxidant that aids in DNA repair. Oysters are low in calories and fat but can be high in sodium, depending on preparation methods. While raw oysters are a delicacy, consuming them raw poses a risk of foodborne illness; cooking reduces this risk significantly. With their unique taste and nutrient-packed profile, oysters are both a gourmet delight and a health-conscious choice for seafood lovers.
