10 High Zinc Rich Foods
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including immune function, cell division, and wound healing. While zinc can be obtained through supplements, it is always beneficial to get nutrients from natural food sources.
1.Shellfish: Oysters, crab, and shrimp are particularly high in zinc. Oysters, in particular, are known for their high zinc content.
2.Meat: Beef, lamb, and pork are good sources of zinc. Lean cuts are generally better choices.
3.Poultry: Chicken and turkey are decent sources of zinc. Dark meat generally contains more zinc than white meat.
4.Fish: Some fish, such as salmon and sardines, provide a moderate amount of zinc along with other beneficial nutrients.
5.Legumes: Legumes like chickpeas, lentils, and beans (such as black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans) are good plant-based sources of zinc.
6.Nuts and seeds: Pumpkin seeds (also known as pepitas) are one of the best sources of zinc among seeds. Other nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews, and sesame seeds also contain zinc.
7.Dairy products: Milk, cheese, and yogurt contain zinc. Opt for low-fat or non-fat options to limit saturated fat intake.
8.Whole grains: Whole grains like wheat, quinoa, and rice bran offer a moderate amount of zinc along with other beneficial nutrients.
9.Eggs: Eggs are a good source of zinc, especially the yolk. However, the zinc content may vary depending on the hen's diet.
10.Dark chocolate: Good quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa content contains a small amount of zinc.
