Foods rich in zinc and manganese

Zinc mainly exists in marine products and animal viscera, such as oysters, lean meat, pig liver, fish and egg yolk, among which the zinc content in oysters is the highest. According to the test, the zinc content of animal food is generally high, and the zinc content in animal food is about 3-5 mg per 100 g, and the amino acids produced after animal protein decomposition can also promote the absorption of zinc. There is less zinc in plant food, and the zinc content in plant food is about 1 mg per100g. There are beans, peanuts, millet, radish and Chinese cabbage with high zinc content in various plant foods.

Zinc exists widely in all kinds of foods, but the content, absorption and utilization rate of zinc in animal foods and plant foods are quite different. Animal food is rich in zinc and has high absorption rate. It is reported that the content of zinc per kilogram of food, such as oysters and herring, is above 1000 mg, while meat, liver and eggs are between 20-50 mg. The Food Composition Table compiled by Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene of Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine lists the zinc content of some foods in China. Chinese cabbage, soybean and white radish contain more than 30 mg of zinc per kilogram. The zinc content is between 10 ~ 30 mg, including rice (coarse), wheat, wheat flour, millet, corn, corn flour, sorghum flour, lentils, potatoes, carrots, purple radishes, turnips, radish tassels, pumpkins and boxes. The zinc content of dried sweet potato is less than 10 mg.
