The Percentage of zinc in nuts?
Nuts are a good source of zinc, but the amount of zinc can vary depending on the type of nut.
According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, a serving (about 1 ounce or 28 grams) of roasted cashews contains 0.9mg of zinc which is about 8% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for zinc for adult men and 11% for adult women.
A serving of roasted almonds contains 0.8mg of zinc, about 7% of the RDA for adult men and 9% for adult women.
A serving of roasted, shelled pumpkin seeds contains 1.4mg of zinc, about 13% of the RDA for adult men and 17% for adult women.
It’s worth noting that, although nuts contain zinc, their zinc content is lower than red meat, poultry, and seafood. They also have high calorie and fat content, so it’s important to pay attention to serving sizes and to consume them in moderation. Like all other food items, it’s important to have a balanced diet including different sources of zinc and other essential nutrients.
