We cannot lack zinc in our body, as a deficiency of this trace element can cause many problems. Therefore, in our daily diet, we need to have a clear understanding of which foods are rich in zinc. What foods high in zinc are suitable for babies?
1. Foods with high zinc content include lean meat, pork liver, fish, egg yolks, etc. The food with the highest zinc content is oysters.
2. According to years of testing, animal based foods generally have a high zinc content, with approximately 3-5mg of zinc per 100 grams of animal based food.
3. In plant-based foods, the zinc content is generally low. Every 100 grams of plant-based food contains only about 1mg of zinc. Plant based foods with high zinc content mainly include beans, peanuts, millet, radish, Chinese cabbage, etc.
4. The zinc content of shellfish is also very high. Oysters, clams, oysters, and mussels all contain a high amount of zinc. In terms of content, oysters are the best among them, while fruits have the lowest zinc content.
5. Animal protein foods such as fish, meat, liver, kidney, and shellfish are rich in effective zinc content. People with zinc deficiency can mainly start with animal based foods.
Plant based foods with relatively high zinc content include beans, peanuts, millet, lettuce, cabbage, eggplant, radish, Chinese cabbage, etc; There are also raisins, sesame seeds, pine nuts, peanuts, milk, walnuts, chestnuts and other nuts.
Fruits with high zinc content include various fresh fruits, such as persimmons, which have a relatively high zinc content. Overall, leafy vegetables and fruits contain very little zinc, with a zinc content of less than 2 micrograms per gram. Animal based foods are a reliable source of zinc, such as pigs, cows, and lamb, which contain 20-60 micrograms of zinc per gram. Beans and wheat contain 15-50 micrograms of zinc per gram.
Whether it's vegetables, meat, or fruits, we should actively supplement children with a certain amount of zinc in daily life.
