Oysters are shellfish, and these figures describe raw oysters weighed with their shells. They provide protein and minerals, including zinc, as well as vitamin B12. Per 100g weighed with shells, they contain 1.5g of protein, 8.3mg of zinc, 2µg of vitamin B12 and 0.18g of salt. These values are not directly comparable with figures for oyster meat weighed without shells.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Zinc contributes to normal immune function, while vitamin B12 is needed for red blood cell formation and normal nerve function. Raw oysters can carry bacteria and viruses that cause food poisoning. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
