Green olives are a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, cherished for their distinct, tangy flavor and versatility. These small fruits, harvested before ripening, are typically cured in brine to reduce bitterness and enhance taste. Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, green olives support heart health and aid in reducing inflammation. They offer a modest amount of fiber and essential nutrients like vitamin E, iron, and calcium, which benefit skin, bone, and immune health. Green olives are also a good source of antioxidants, helping combat oxidative stress in the body. However, due to their curing process, they can be high in sodium, so moderate consumption is advised, especially for those monitoring salt intake. Commonly enjoyed in salads, pasta, tapenades, or as a snack, green olives bring flavor and nutritional value to diverse dishes while celebrating their Mediterranean roots.
