10 Foods High in Vitamin D
Vitamin D Rich Food #5: Oysters
Oysters belong to a group of animals called mollusks. They have been used as food for hundreds of years in different parts of the world. Oysters are a great source of dietary vitamin D. A 100 gram serving contains 320 IUs of the sunshine vitamin. This is more than half the RDA of vitamin D for an adult. Oysters are also high in other nutrients including B vitamins like niacin, thiamin and riboflavin, and minerals like iron, zinc, selenium, copper and manganese.
Oysters are also high in cholesterol for which reason; you should consume them in moderation. And while you can get higher amounts of nutrients from raw oysters, eating them raw can expose you to dangerous bacteria. For this reason, always ensure that you cook oysters adequately.
