About Two small oysters
Two small oysters, often enjoyed in coastal cuisines worldwide, are a low-calorie seafood choice celebrated for their unique briny flavor and nutritional benefits. Typically weighing around 50 grams combined, they are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins such as B12, and important minerals like zinc and iron. These nutrients support heart health, brain function, and a robust immune system. Oysters are renowned in Mediterranean, Cajun, and East Asian cuisines, often served raw, grilled, or steamed with a variety of accompaniments. While nutritious, they should be consumed in moderation, as they can be high in sodium and cholesterol. Additionally, their safety can depend on freshness and sourcing, as raw oysters may carry risks of foodborne illness. For those seeking a nutrient-dense option, two small oysters offer a flavorful, healthy indulgence that fits well into a balanced diet.
