Zinc is found in oysters, and to a far lesser degree in most animal proteins, beans, nuts, whole grains, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Phytates, which are found in whole grain breads, cereals, legumes and other products, have been known to decrease zinc absorption. Clinical studies have found that zinc, combined with antioxidants, may delay progression of age-related macular degeneration, but the effect is extremely small and not likely to be clinically important. Significant dietary intake of zinc has also recently been shown to impede the onset of flu. Soil conservation analyzes the vegetative uptake of naturally occurring zinc in many soil types.
The (US) recommended dietary allowance of zinc from puberty on is 11mg for males and 8mg for females, with higher amounts recommended during pregnancy and lactation

Zinc is an essential to our health but not present in high quantity in our fruit and vegetables.
There are small quantities of zinc in Guavas, Figs, Dates, mango, oranges, grapefruit and paw pas. Yams, dried kidney beans also contain Zinc. The best 'plant source' of zinc is wheat bran, wheat bran has 8-9 times the amount of zinc as would an orange.
The foods that are very highest in zinc are OYSTERS, clams, beef, other fish and egg yolk.
OYSTERS are at the top when it comes to healthy amounts of Zinc in small tasty portions.
Hope this is useful to you !

Not familiar with food in India. But green vegetables should have some iron and sunflower seeds do. Also oatmeal is a good source of it. Try a google search for iron rich food in India. There should be some food sources there with iron.
