Green olives with pimentos are a popular snack and ingredient known for their vibrant flavor and Mediterranean roots. These olives are harvested before they ripen, giving them a firm texture and slightly tangy taste. The pimentos, mild red chili peppers, are stuffed into the hollow center of the olive, adding a hint of sweetness and color. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, they are often used in tapas, salads, and cocktails. Nutritionally, green olives are a source of healthy monounsaturated fats, which support heart health, and provide small amounts of vitamin E and other antioxidants. However, they are typically cured in brine, making them high in sodium, so moderation is advised. Low in calories, they work well as a flavorful addition to balanced diets, but their salt content may be a concern for those watching sodium intake. Enjoy them fresh or as part of dishes to add zest and texture.
