Aphrodisiacs on your plate

Oysters are quite possibly the world's best-known culinary aphrodisiacs, and there’s research supporting the belief that these bivalves boost libido. For starters, raw oysters are very high in zinc, which raises sperm and testosterone production.

Like some fish, oysters contain omega-3 fatty acids, considered to increase one’s overall well-being and even fight depression. They’re also a source of dopamine, but there’s still no definitive scientific information about oysters’ ability to induce desire. 

That said, legendary lothario Casanova might disagree. The infamous 18th-century womaniser ate 50 raw oysters every day.

Then, there are Pomegranates

Some historians speculate that the forbidden fruit Eve bit into in the Garden of Eden was not an apple at all, but a juicy pomegranate. Bursting with ruby red seeds when sliced open, pomegranates have long been associated with reproduction and fertility.

In fact, according to Greek mythology, the first pomegranate tree was planted by Aphrodite, the goddess of love, pleasure and procreation. Recent research has validated the fruit’s long-standing association with romance — studies have shown that the pomegranate’s antioxidants increase blood flow and testosterone levels, stimulating arousal and heightening intimacy.
