Pickled olives are a savory, tangy snack made by fermenting or brining fresh olives. This process enhances their flavor and prevents spoilage, making them a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Rich in monounsaturated fats, pickled olives support heart health and provide antioxidants like vitamin E, which protect cells from damage. They also contain iron, calcium, and dietary fiber, offering nutritional benefits for digestion and bone health. However, their high sodium content, a result of the brining process, may be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Available in various varieties such as green, black, or stuffed, pickled olives are versatile, adding depth to salads, charcuterie boards, and pasta dishes. Enjoy them in moderation to savor their bold flavor while balancing their health impact.
