Green and black olives are small, flavorful fruits of the olive tree, widely known in Mediterranean cuisine and cherished globally. Green olives are harvested before ripening, offering a firm texture and mild, tangy taste, while black olives are fully ripened, featuring a softer texture and rich, earthy flavor. Nutritionally, olives are a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, essential for supporting cardiovascular health. They also provide antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which can help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Olives are low in carbs but relatively high in sodium due to the curing process, making moderation key. Additionally, they supply trace minerals such as iron and copper, supporting cell function and energy. Used in anything from salads to tapenades, olives are a versatile and nutritious ingredient, though their salty profile should be balanced within a healthy diet.
