8 Foods High in Zinc

Print this page

Published on March 16, 2010 by Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND

Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of the body’s vital processes and most people are chronically deficient in this vital mineral. It is an active agent in our body’s ability to metabolize food and nutrients. It is also a necessary agent in the triggering action of 100 differing internal enzymes required for many of these metabolic actions. Zinc is also crucial for the health of the human immune system. It aids growth through its role in protein building and synthesis, and is therefore particularly needed in pregnant and lactating women.

It also plays a role in the body’s ability to heal itself after an injury. Zinc keeps our sense of smell in proper function, and is commonly linked to healthy eyes, skin and hair. What is more, we must be sure that we get enough of it in our diet, as well as from zinc supplements, as the body does not naturally have a zinc storage system.

List of Foods High in Zinc

There are many foods that contain zinc, but the following list of foods possess the highest amounts of naturally-occuring zinc. These foods would be a great addition to any diet.

1. Pumpkin seeds

Not only are they extremely high in zinc, pumpkin seeds also play a role in the prevention of prostate cancer. Pumpkin seeds also support general immune system health. For maximum zinc-intake, the seeds can be taken raw, as roasting them can deplete zinc intake.

2. Dark Chocolate

The occasional indulgence in a square of dark chocolate may offer you an extra boost to your zinc levels. One hundred grams of unsweetened dark chocolate has up to 9.6mg of zinc. Cocoa powder has 6.8mg.

3. Garlic

This pungent bulb offers moderate levels of naturally occurring zinc, and is easy to incorporate into most any main course meal preparation. Besides from being high in zinc, garlic is also a great food for detox that contains high levels of manganese, vitamin b6, vitamin c and selenium.

4. Sesame Seeds

Whether raw, toasted or ground into tahini butter, sesame seeds hold around 10mg of zinc per 100g serving. Try incorporating more hummus (a tahini-butter-based Middle Eastern dip) into your diet, or even consider replacing wheat flour with sesame seed flour in your next baked goods or breads.

5. Watermelon seeds

It may seem strange, but try raw, dried or roasted seeds after eating your next summer watermelon. Popular in Eastern Asia, dried watermelon seeds have 10mg of zinc per 100g serving.

6. Wheat germ

An excellent additive to sprinkle on your salad, toasted wheat germ offers 17mg of zinc per 100g serving. This is over 100% of the recommended daily allowance.

7. Squash seeds

Another popular Middle Eastern seed, squash seeds hold around 10mg of zinc per 100g serving. You can remove the seeds directly from the squash eat them raw, dried or roast them in your oven. I personally prefer to eat them raw.

8. Chickpeas

A 7 ounce serving contains about 2.8mg of zinc. They also contain folate and are high in protein and dietary fiber.

Other Sources of Zinc

Besides from the foods listed above, there are many other ways to get zinc in your diet. If you don’t eat any of the foods above, then I would recommend supplementing your diet with a zinc supplement.

If you decide to take a zinc supplement, then be sure to do your research on the different types of zinc supplements. They are not all created equal. Personally, I would only use and recommend zinc orotate.

Book: The Man Without A Face: The Unlikely Rise Of Vladimir PutinAuthor: Masha Gessen
Publisher: Granta/Penguin
Pages: 314
Price: Rs550

Vladimir Putin is a terrifying man. Earlier, he seemed merely vain, showing off on TV his bare chest or wrestling with wild animals. Then I read Masha Gessen’s book, The Man Without A Face: The Unlikely Rise Of Vladimir Putin, and coming the same week that 49 headless bodies were found in Mexico Gessen’s book’s all-pervading sense of the sinister reminded me of Roberto Bolano’s 2666 with its north Mexico serial killings and the late Carlos Fuentes, whose main character in The Death Of Artemio Cruz in a way parallels Putin.

Thus, your first thought while reading of the Putin-ordered murders of prominent Russians is that Gessen has taken a mighty risk, even if the book is not in Russian and even if she is a dual citizen of both Russia and America, for she lives in Moscow; the journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in the elevator of her apartment building in central Moscow, because of her reportage on the genocide in Chechnya.

But then, as she and other Russians recognise by the end of the book, last winter’s anti-Putin protests mark the start of the endgame, and no matter what this thief, murderer and plagiarist now does. Thus, the courage.

This isn’t a real biography, unlike Gessen’s previous book, Perfect Rigor, about the eccentric mathematician genius Grigori Perelman, who in 2002 figured out the 100-year-old unsolved Poincare’s conjecture. Rather, it is a portrait of a man of humble beginnings — it was rumoured that he was adopted — who grew up a rough and nasty boy and sought out a job in the Soviet intelligence agency, the KGB (later incarnated as the FSB).

It is the portrait of a man so greedy that despite having amassed, through corruption, personal wealth of around $40 billion (a 2007 estimate), he asked a visiting American businessman for his 124-carat diamond ring, put it in his pocket, and promptly walked out the room.

This is a man so vulgar that he offered to castrate a French reporter of Le Monde who, in 2002, had the temerity to ask him about the use of heavy artillery against civilians in Chechnya.

Gessen says Putin is the face of one of the forces that was dismayed by the mess that democracy was proving to be after the end of the USSR in 1991.

An oligarchy was looting Russian resources with impunity. There was a coup attempt in August 1991 against the then premier, Mikhail Gorbachev; it was a public failure. Yet the very coup-makers regrouped with Putin as its public face (he even deliberately kept vague his official status in the KGB during the 1990s). Boris Yeltsin could not handle hyperinflation and a debt default, which so discredited democracy that Russians actually yearned for a “strong” leader to return order to their former superpower.

Enter Putin, as a deputy to the St Petersburg mayor, Anatoly Sobchak, who was hedging his bets by talking publicly of democracy and privately planning his each move with the KGB operative (and later FSB head) Putin. When Yeltsin gave way, Putin was put forward as a perhaps temporary face to ward off Yeltsin’s opponents; Putin, with the state apparatus fully behind him, took full control. He took charge of the corrupt oligarchy; anyone who disagreed with him, like the oil giant Yukos head, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, was thrown in jail and his property snatched from him; the media was taken over by the State, so that any political opposition (like chess genius Gary Kasparov, who retired in 2005 to take on Putin and found himself pelted by eggs and stones by kids who took refuge in police cars) got no airtime or space; he murdered rivals like former mentor Sobchak, who was poisoned KGB-style by a substance on a bulb of a bedside table-lamp that vaporised and lethally spread when the lamp was switched on; he murdered FSB whistleblower Alexander Litvinenko in 2006 in London by polonium, a highly radioactive substance which is not naturally found but was produced in the Soviet Union; and so on.

Litvinenko had blown the whistle on a 1999 series of apartment bombings that had produced an atmosphere of fear in Moscow and an electoral environment conducive to Putin’s tough talk. It turned out that the FSB had planned the bombings. (It seems intelligence agencies habitually take collateral damage in their stride, as noted last week about The Meadow.) Similarly, the 2002 Moscow theatre siege and the 2004 Beslan school siege, in which hundreds of innocents died, were handled in an unnecessarily strong-arm manner — merely to show Putin’s efficacy as a leader. Indeed, the terrorists who took over the theatre were later found not to have explosives, and one of them who survived was an FSB-linked Chechen.

All of Putin’s actions give evidence of a petty, petulant man whose sole vision for his nation was it needed a reincarnated Stalin. Russia existed for the State, and its abundant resources existed for a few to plunder. (Putin is building a billion-dollar hi-tech home on the shore of the Black Sea.) This brings us to the title of Gessen’s book.

At a time when Russians were groping for an identity in the post-Soviet era, having been let down by democrats like Yeltsin, the former State apparatus, with Putin as its face, offered an alternative; and having seized it, never let go. Russia has still not been rebuilt, its identity not allowed a rebirth. And what Putin, representing a faceless state apparatus, has done is subvert that process of the nation regaining an identity. In that sense, The Man Without A Face has made faceless the proud nation that gave us, among others, Perelman, Kasparov and Tolstoy.
