Did you know?

Even though more attention has been sometimes been given to their delicious oil than their whole food delights, olives themselves deserve to be recognized as well. While a high-fat food (about 80-85% of the calories in olives come from fat), almost three-quarters of the fat in olives comes in the form of monounsaturated fat. The high monounsaturated fat content of olives has been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. However, because they are high in fat as well as sodium, use olives sparingly to give your dishes a pop of Mediterranean flavor!
