Oysters are a Seafood Superfood

June 18, 2020

Forget claims that oysters are a natural aphrodisiac. The REAL reason you should give these mollusks a try is that oysters are a nutritional powerhouse from the sea. One 3-ounce serving of Pacific oysters provides 190% of the daily value of selenium, 45% of the daily value of iron, and 20% of the daily value of vitamin C, all for just 140 calories. One 3-ounce serving of oysters contains 16 grams of high-quality protein. The seafood also provides zinc and vitamin A. These vitamins and minerals in oysters are critical for proper immune function.

Most people are familiar with raw oysters served in the half shell, but if raw seafood makes your stomach recoil, there are many other ways to eat oysters. These include:

Oysters Rockefeller,
Oyster Stew,
Oyster Stuffing,
Scalloped Oysters, and
Grilled Oysters.

Eat up! They’re good for you! And hey, if you happen to be the beneficiary of that other reported side effect, well then, you’re welcome.
