Foods high in Zinc?

[Emma09]

My DH is taking a high dose of zinc, on advice of our FS and naturopath.
Are there any foods high in zinc?

Mmmm oysters are meant to be high in zinc! And are meant to be an aphrodisiac too

Sesame seeds and tahini - do you like hummus? I make my own hummus using tahini, dead easy and quite healthy - I can give you a recipe if you are interested. The chick peas have a pretty good zinc content too actually.

Beef is good - full of all sorts of good things, including zinc.

Thanks OP!

Oysters are definitely out- yukko!
Just asked DH about hummus, he said 'I think, I like it' that recipe would be great!

Steak every night in this house from now on!

Dark chocolate

Sunflower seeds... they're a great snack food, too, and easy to keep in a tupperware container in the desk drawer/glove box/ wherever suits your DHs job.

Mmmm chocolate...
Another aphrodisiac!!

Ok it is a very very accurate recipe. You get a jar of chick peas, drain them and chuck them in bowl. Then add a couple of tbs of tahini - you can buy a jar of tahini from most supermarkets, health food aisle. Generous drizzle of olive oil, squirt of lemon juice and some cumin. Pinch or sprinkle of cumin. Clove of garlic. Seasoning (s&p) to taste. Blend/process/whizz until smooth.

Taste. Add more oil if not creamy enough. Add more cumin/garlic/lemon if not zesty enough. Taste again. Repeat as required

See - VERY precise

I recommend the hummous, too. I use OP's 'recipe', with a few modifications depending on mood. I leave out the garlic entirely if it's lunch when I'm working, so as to not breathe garlic fumes on my poor patients. I often add ground coriander along with the cumin, and lemon rind with it, too. Instead of lemon, coriander and cumin, I do a lime and ginger version, and an olive and oregano version. I've also experimented with roasted capsicum, with sundried tomatoes (hard to blend with my stick mixer), with leaving out the tahini (not as creamy, but still tasty,) with using lima beans or butter beans instead of chickpeas (smoother, less nuttiness, but still pretty good)... Use with vegetable crudites, as a spread on crispbreads or sandwiches, on hot toast, as a dip for koftas... yummy and good for you!
