About Mollusks, oyster, eastern, wild, cooked, dry heat

Oysters are among the most distinctive things you can eat — briny, soft and tasting unmistakably of the sea. Eaten raw on the half shell or cooked, they've been a delicacy for centuries, as celebrated for their minerals as for their flavor.

They are most famous for zinc, of which they're one of the richest food sources anywhere, and that reputation underpins a lot of their folklore. Beyond zinc they're extraordinarily rich in vitamin B12, copper, selenium and iron, all on a lean, low-calorie, high-protein base.

Few foods pack so many minerals into so little. Raw oysters do carry a small risk of foodborne illness, which is why cooked oysters or reputable sourcing matter for anyone vulnerable.
