Everyone is in agreement that oysters do not produce anything other than pearls, am I right? But, what if they could produce something other than that precious pearl? You know people today are always fiddling with some aspect of nature and making odd things happen. So who knows what they do that we do not know about! In fact, someone could be working on oysters right as I type this, as you are reading this, they are pumping the oysters full of some top secret juice that makes them produce...craisins! That is right, craisins. Who does not love the sweet taste of craisins? What are they? Well they are dried cranberries! Like raisins are dried grapes. Now, I would buy up some oysters if they produced craisins nonstop! I would have an oyster farm and they would be my craisin making babies!Seriously though, oysters do not produce craisins (I know, boo!). Eating oysters is very very healthy. They are high in protein and can even be eaten raw! Although a healthy person would not be affected by this delicious fish, there are some people who are at risk to becoming very ill and could even possibly die from the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria in the oysters. BeOysterAware.com has information on who is at risk such as people with cancer, liver problems, diabetes, and more. Educate yourself and be careful. If you are at risk then stray from the raw Gulf oysters. Even if they could produce the sweet craisins we all love!
