About Half teaspoon olive oil
Half a teaspoon of olive oil, derived from the ripe fruit of olive trees native to the Mediterranean region, is a small yet potent source of nutritional value. This tiny serving contains approximately 2.3 grams of fat, primarily heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which are known to support cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. Rich in antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, olive oil contributes to skin health and cellular protection. While these benefits make it a staple in cuisines like Italian, Greek, and Spanish, its calorie density requires mindful consumption, especially for those managing weight. With no carbs, protein, or added sugars, it's a pure fat source, ideal for enhancing flavors in dressings, marinades, and cooked dishes. Moderation is key, as overuse can outweigh health benefits. However, in small quantities, olive oil remains a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
