Olives

Olives are among some of the healthiest fruits (yes, they are fruits) on the planet, associated with the Mediterranean regions. They are, in fact, an important part of the Mediterranean diet, which is responsible for improved health and wellbeing.

The distinctive flavors and nutrients of olives make them more than just a garnish for your martini glass. The Daily Values (DV) for calcium, iron and vitamin E are all provided in just 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of canned olives. Iron is required by your body so that your red blood cells can transport oxygen throughout your body, and vitamin E serves as an antioxidant and reduces inflammation. Additionally very high in salt are canned olives. Despite being a necessary nutrient, too much sodium can cause high blood pressure. It is crucial to seek out low-salt varieties as a result. In addition to salads, hummus, and tapenade, olives go well on pizza and sandwiches.
