It isn't hard to achieve the RDA of zinc on a vegan diet specially one that contains ample amounts of beans,legumes,nuts and seeds.These are the richest vegan sources.Zinc and copper balance is where the potential problem lies though,it is fairly easy to achieve the RDA of zinc like i say above on a cooked vegan diet,but the problem is that most raw diets are very rich in copper and thus have the potential to produce an unfavourable zinc/copper balance.
