About Red and black olives

Red and black olives are flavorful fruits commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. These small, oval-shaped delights come from the olive tree and are often cured or fermented to reduce bitterness. Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, they are an excellent source of vitamin E and antioxidants, which may help reduce inflammation and support skin health. Olives also provide trace minerals such as iron and copper. However, they can be high in sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is key for those watching their salt intake. Red olives, typically less common, may be dyed or prepared with specific spices. Black olives are ripe and mild, making them versatile for salads, tapenades, or pizza toppings. Their rich nutritional profile and unique taste have secured them a spot in health-conscious diets and gourmet recipes worldwide.
