About Kalmata olives

Kalamata olives are a nutrient-rich fruit native to Greece, renowned for their smooth, meaty texture and deep purple hue. Often used in Mediterranean cuisine, they add robust flavor to salads, tapenades, and pasta dishes. These olives are packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, and essential minerals such as calcium and iron. Their healthy fat content supports cardiovascular health, while antioxidants combat free radicals and reduce inflammation. However, Kalamata olives are often cured in brine, which can make them relatively high in sodium. It's essential to enjoy them in moderation, especially for those monitoring their sodium intake. Low in carbohydrates and naturally cholesterol-free, they are an excellent addition to a balanced diet when consumed mindfully. Their rich, savory taste makes them a delicious and nutritious snack or ingredient in wholesome meals.
