Azeitonas, or olives, are small, oval fruits native to the Mediterranean region and widely used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Spanish cuisines. They come in various types, including green and black variants, which differ based on ripeness and curing methods. Nutritionally, olives are a rich source of healthy monounsaturated fats, which support heart health and may lower bad cholesterol levels. They also contain vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage, and small amounts of iron and calcium. Olives are low in carbohydrates but high in sodium due to brining processes, so moderation is key. Their bold, tangy flavor makes them a popular ingredient in salads, tapenades, and antipasto platters, as well as a nutritious snack. While their fat content is beneficial, the calorie count should be considered for those watching their intake. Enjoy azeitonas as part of a balanced diet for both taste and health benefits.
