If you’re an oyster enthusiast, we’ve got good news for you. First of all, our Bellevue Japanese restaurant offers a fine dish of Washington Panko oysters, breaded and deep-fried for your pleasure. Secondly, you don’t have to feel guilty about indulging in your favorite shellfish; like much of the food we get from the ocean, oysters are quite beneficial to your health!
Not only are oysters a low fat and low cholesterol source of protein, they’re also a valuable source of zinc. This mineral doesn’t get as much attention as many other vital nutrients, but zinc is an important part of every cell in your body. Zinc is used to repair your DNA, provide energy to the body, and fight infections. In men, it’s needed in the production of testosterone, which can explain the reputation oysters enjoys as an aphrodisiac. A deficiency of zinc is attributed to many problems, like low energy, inhibited growth, and a decreased ability to heal.
Do yourself a delicious favor today, and come down for a plate of oysters at Flo Japanese Restaurant!
