About I tsp olive oil
Olive oil, particularly one teaspoon's worth, is a staple ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavor and health benefits. Extracted from olives, this golden oil is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease. It contains antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols that combat inflammation and support overall wellness. While olive oil is calorie-dense—one teaspoon providing around 40 calories—it is free of trans fats and considered a better alternative to butter or margarine for cooking. Its mild, versatile taste enhances savory dishes, dressings, and marinades without overpowering other flavors. Originating from countries like Italy, Spain, and Greece, olive oil has been embraced worldwide for its nourishing qualities. Although highly beneficial, it’s best used in moderation due to its concentrated energy content.
