Olives are nutrient-packed fruits commonly enjoyed in Mediterranean cuisine and renowned for their rich flavor and versatility. Originating from the olive tree (Olea europaea), they can be found in a wide variety of preparations, from raw and cured to pressed into olive oil. Olives are an excellent source of healthy monounsaturated fats, which are known to support heart health and reduce inflammation. They also contain antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which help protect cells against damage. Additionally, olives provide small amounts of essential minerals, including iron, calcium, and potassium. However, processed olives can be high in sodium due to curing methods, so it’s best to enjoy them in moderation if monitoring salt intake. Whether eaten as snacks, used in cooking, or incorporated into salads and tapenades, olives are a flavorful and health-supporting addition to your diet.
