HEALTH & BENEFITS

Oysters are a nutrient-dense food, rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are particularly high in vitamin B12, zinc, and iron, which are important for maintaining a healthy immune system and supporting energy metabolism. However, oysters are also high in cholesterol so they should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
