loved by food fanatics and romantics
this seafood delicacy is surrounded by
myth hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
addressing some popular myths about
oysters I’ve heard this rule where
you’re not supposed to eat oysters
outside of months that have an R in them
tell us about that basically that quote
comes from that period of time where
there was no refrigeration no
transportation
so hey guess what you don’t want to
travel in hot months with an oyster in
your pocket where the temperature is 90
degrees the other reason for that is at
in the months with it reproducing let
them have a time to reproduce and then
you eat them again any other months
that’s not true anymore however because
what happens is that most choices aren’t
reproduced naturally they take the seed
they reproduce them so they’re a little
bit sturdy in in holding
then they put those out and they reseed
that way you know the most important is
water temperature that’s really what
matters to an oyster they don’t care
about a month it is they don’t care what
day it is so don’t forget where our
temperature in North America is summer
in July and hot it’s the perfect time
there in the southern hemisphere New
Zealand oysters are just spectacular
right now so really think about water
temperature not so much what months
you’re eating oysters in I noticed that
some people have a concern about eating
oysters raw I mean would you address
that it’s a raw food it’s a natural raw
food that’s why you want to make sure
you get a fresh as possible to shuck are
you trust there’s always a risk every
single oyster I open I’m concerned I
double-check it I smell it I look at it
if it doesn’t look right if it doesn’t
smell right
they’re not getting it but if you take
in the grand scheme of things there’s
been more recalls on peanut butter meat
eggs than anything we’ve ever heard of
oysters the water temperature the waters
of all these oysters are checked
constantly by the Fisheries Department
and so those waters are going to be
pristine and great and really you’ll
know if you sip an oyster if you taste
moisture 90% of the time we’re going to
know but really you know there’s there’s
some other dangers out there with other
stuff so it’s
more than anything else a lot of people
like to shoot their oysters what’s your
take on that you should appreciate the
oyster you have you’re not gonna taste
it doused in the alcohol shooting it
back a lot of people think you should
just swallow an oyster
there’s no food that you eat you just
swallow without chewing you’re gonna
miss all the flavors all the tastes of
it the more you chew an oyster the way
that proteins fall on your tongue
changes is gonna have a more complex
richer flavor you begin to appreciate
the Earth’s report it is and would you
address the oysters reputation as an
aphrodisiac an oyster has nine calories
each they have a great amount of protein
in them like almost 1/3 as much of a
chicken breast
they have zinc which is great for men
virility and great for women in terms of
aging there’s natural hunger inhibitor
in zinc so you’ve got this great light
tasting food that’s light on your body
gives you great energy and it’s good for
you with all minerals and nutrients and
vitamin B anytime you feel good you’re
gonna feel like like engaging with
another individual so that’s that’s my
opinion on the aphrodisiac is there
anything else you think we should know
about oysters understand that oysters
are such a vital part also of the
ecosystem these little guys they’re so
vital for the environment they filter
one to five gallons of water a year they
take out two grams of nitrogen I think
that the statistic is for a year so in
one year each oyster so you think of the
millions of oysters that are out there
they’re cleaning all that water for us
they’re saving the world basically so
save an oyster save the world it’s my
opinion thank you very much thank you
very much pleasure
