Aceitunas, or olives, are small fruits harvested from the olive tree, native to the Mediterranean region. Renowned for their prominent role in Mediterranean cuisine, they are versatile ingredients featured in dishes, oils, and condiments worldwide. Olives are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins E and K, and potent antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which support inflammation reduction and cardiovascular health. Green and black varieties differ in ripeness but share similar nutrient profiles. While olives are naturally low in carbohydrates, their sodium content can be significant due to the curing and brining process, so moderation is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. Commonly consumed whole, stuffed, or pressed into olive oil, they are a flavorful addition that aligns with a balanced diet when enjoyed responsibly. Their combination of healthy fats and antioxidants makes them a staple in nutritious eating habits.
