Dark olives are a versatile and nutrient-rich fruit commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Known for their deep, rich flavor, they are typically harvested when fully ripe and cured to reduce bitterness. Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, dark olives contribute to improved cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health. They are an excellent source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage, and also contain small amounts of iron, copper, and dietary fiber. However, due to curing with brine, they can be high in sodium, which may require moderation for individuals with hypertension or salt sensitivity. Dark olives are often enjoyed in salads, tapenades, or as a savory snack, offering a flavorful and health-conscious addition to a balanced diet.
