Zinc...

You know it’s in: Oysters

Surprising sources: Another essential mineral, zinc plays a major role in immune function, promotes wound healing, and supports normal growth and development. While 3 ounces of oysters supplies almost five times your DV, beef, Alaskan king crab, lobster, pork chops, and dark meat chicken are other good animal sources. Zinc can also be found in non-meat goods: A half cup of baked beans, 8 ounces of yogurt, and 1 ounce of cashews all provide more than 10 percent of the DV.
