Seafood
17% of edible meat comes from the ocean which means seafood is consumed in large quantities all over the World. Staggering numbers of fish consumption can be seen in many countries. For example, China alone consumes roughly 2,035,263 tons of fish annually. One factor in the popularity of seafood is the nutritious value it provides. Our topic of concern is the amount of zinc in the seafood so according to the stats:
- Oysters have almost 670% Zinc which is required per 3 ounces of them. 85 grams of perfectly cooked oysters contain around 73.1mg of Zinc.
- 85 grams of cooked crabs has 6.5mg of zinc which makes up 59 percent of the daily value.
- 85 grams of lobster contains 3.4 milligrams of zinc which equals 31 percent of the daily requirement.
- 6 large shrimps have 1.6 mg of Zinc per serving.
By far oysters are known to have the most Zinc content in them. Other seafood items mentioned above are also rich in Zinc and can help you get over your Zinc deficiency.
