About Sliced black olives

Sliced black olives are a processed form of ripe olives, commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Italian cuisines. Black olives are harvested at full ripeness, giving them their dark color and milder flavor. They are typically cured or brined before being sliced for culinary use. Nutritionally, black olives are relatively low in calories and high in healthy monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid. They also provide small amounts of vitamins such as vitamin E (antioxidant) and minerals like iron and copper. A serving of 10 sliced black olives (approximately 20 grams) contains about 2 grams of fat, 1 gram of fiber, and under 30 calories, making them a flavorful and nutrient-dense addition to recipes and snacks.

Health Benefits

• Black olives are a good source of monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which supports heart health and reduces inflammation.
• They provide vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage.
