Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate, maybe surprisingly, has a reasonable amount of zinc. Chocolate ingredients may help decrease your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes when consumed in moderation, however, further research is needed to confirm these benefits. Dark chocolate is the healthiest variety of chocolate because it includes more nutrients than milk or white chocolate, including copper, iron, and zinc.

A 100-gram (3.5-ounce) bar of 70%–85% dark chocolate provides 3.3 milligrams of zinc or 30% of the daily value. Dark chocolate, on the other hand, has 600 calories per 100 grams. While it contains certain beneficial nutrients, it is also a high-calorie food. While your treat may provide some extra nutrients, it is not a food you should rely on as your main source of zinc.
