Oysters contain more zinc than any other food. Zinc is necessary for proper growth and development, strengthens the immune system and promotes healing. This definitely upped the ranking of oysters in my mind as a food worthy of our nutritional intake. They are high in omega – 3 fatty acids, potassium and magnesium which can help reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke and lower blood pressure. This is common with most seafood. But I like oysters the best! They are low in calories, low in fat and a good source of protein which makes you feel fuller after eating. They share this with olive oil, which is notorious for it’s ability to make people feel full before finishing.

Extra Special Oysters with Champagne Granité
This Extra Special Oysters with Champagne Granité recipe is absolutely delicious and super easy to make!
Ingredients
- 475ml Champagne
- 120ml Champagne vinegar
- 1 shallot, very finely chopped
- salt 1 tbsp
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 550g rock salt, for serving (optional)
- 12 oysters
Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients, except the oysters, in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir until all of the sugar and salt have dissolved.
Pour the mixture into a wide flat dish and put it in the freezer. As the mixture begins freeze, drag a fork through it to break it up.
Repeat this process every 15 minutes until the mixture is completely frozen. When done it will look like shards of ice, kind of slushy but a bit more frozen.
Scrub the outside of the oysters to remove any grit. If using, spread the rock salt out on a serving dish. Shuck the oysters and lay them on the rock salt.
Top each oyster with the granita and serve immediately.
