Azeitona Preta, or black olive, is a flavorful fruit commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in dishes from Greece, Italy, and Spain. These olives are fully ripened before picking, giving them a distinct deep color and soft texture. Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, black olives can support heart health and provide essential nutrients like vitamin E, iron, and fiber. They also contain antioxidants that may help combat oxidative stress. While they offer nutritional benefits, it’s important to note that they are often brined or cured, leading to a high sodium content. Consuming them in moderation is key to enjoying their health advantages without exceeding recommended salt intake. Popular in salads, pizzas, tapenades, and spreads, black olives add a savory depth to any dish while contributing to a balanced diet when eaten thoughtfully.
