If you’re brave enough to try oysters and you don’t think about it too much before you eat them, other than the amazing ocean flavor and the nutrients, you will grow to love them like the rest of us.
Once you try them you’ll be rushing off to your local fishmonger to buy the freshest ones you can and then you’ll want to learn how to shuck raw oysters. With a little practice it can become quite easy.
Also, they are very versatile ingredients from barbecued on the grill to creamy oyster stew.
Oysters have more zinc than any other food. Plus they have selenium. Zinc and selenium are two of the three critical minerals for your thyroid and also helps your body generate T-cells for immunity. If you’re feeling sluggish try eating a dozen a week for a couple weeks and see what happens.
