Foods High in Zinc

4) Green Peas

Green Peas

Another option in your favor is raw or boiled green peas. Green peas are edible seeds of immature peas. They are very popular to accompany cooked rice, but if you’re a bit creative, you can create plenty of recipes with this ingredient.

Green peas contain 1.2 mg of zinc for every 100 g. You can boil them, and it won’t affect the mineral content. Besides, you will also get potassium (340mg), calcium (32mg), iron (2.2mg), folic acid (70μg), and dietary fiber (8.6g).
