6. Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is among the healthier chocolate variants. It is a rich source of dietary copper and has greater content of the mineral compared to milk chocolate. A 3-ounce bar has 0.75 mg copper, which is more than 80% of the DV. There’s good reason to indulge on a bar of dark Chocó when you are copper deficient.
7. Mushrooms
Cooked Shiitake mushrooms are one of the best sources of copper. They provide us with 65 mg copper or 72% DV for every half cup. Research also shows that mushrooms provide significant anti-inflammatory benefits. The fungi are also rich in other nutrients, including beta-glucans, lentinan and carvacrol, just to name a few.
