According to http://www.globalgourmet.com/, oysters are not only yummy in your tummy, but they are a great source of nutrients as well. They contain protein, lipids, and carbohydrates. The National Heart and Lung Institute recommend oysters as an ideal food for inclusion in low-cholesterol diets. Oysters are an excellent source of vitamins A, B1(thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), C (ascorbic acid) and D (calciferol). Four or five medium size oysters supply the recommended daily allowance of iron, copper, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus.
Come out to the St. Mary's County fairgrounds in Leonardtown on October 16 & 17 and enjoy some of these nutritional and delicious treats "any way you like 'em!" They will be served raw, scalded, grilled on the barbie, on bread, on the half shell, stewed, nude, cooked in savory sauces, in salads, even in deserts, just about every way imaginable and then some!
