Aceitunas Negras, or black olives, are a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for their bold flavor and versatile use in dishes. These olives, typically harvested at full ripeness, are naturally rich in healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fats, which may support heart health. They also provide a modest amount of dietary fiber, vitamin E, and iron. While black olives are low in carbohydrates, they can be high in sodium due to curing processes, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Black olives are often enjoyed in salads, pastas, flatbreads, and antipasti platters, adding a savory, earthy depth to dishes. With minimal calories per serving, they make for a satisfying yet guilt-free addition to meals, fitting well into balanced diets focused on whole foods. However, like many cured olives, pre-packaged varieties may contain added preservatives, so selecting organic or minimally processed options is ideal.
