Olives Green are small, oval-shaped fruits harvested from the olive tree, native to the Mediterranean region. A staple in Mediterranean cuisine, they are often enjoyed as snacks, added to salads, or used in cooking as a garnish or ingredient. Green olives are typically picked before ripening and are often preserved in brine or oil to enhance their flavor. These nutritious fruits are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins E and A, and antioxidants, which support heart health and reduce inflammation. They also contain minerals like iron and calcium, contributing to bone and immune health. However, green olives can be high in sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is key for those monitoring their salt intake. Whether enjoyed on their own or incorporated into dishes, green olives offer both flavor and a myriad of health benefits rooted in centuries of Mediterranean tradition.
