About Purple olives

Purple olives, often found in Mediterranean cuisine, are small fruits harvested from the olive tree and are typically cured or fermented for consumption. Their deep, rich color and robust flavor make them a popular ingredient in dishes like tapenades, salads, and antipasti platters. Nutritionally, purple olives are a heart-healthy choice, rich in monounsaturated fats that support cholesterol balance and overall cardiovascular health. They are also a source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that promotes skin health and protects cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, olives contain small amounts of key minerals like iron and calcium. However, because they're typically cured in brine, purple olives can be high in sodium, so moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet. Versatile and flavorful, these olives add a touch of Mediterranean flair to meals while offering some nutritional benefits.
