The Really Stuffed Olive Co.
What are the health benefits of Olives?
The olive contains important fats, vitamins, minerals, and proteins, and is rich in essential amino acids. Olives have no cholesterol, are high in monounsaturates, and low in polyunsaturates and saturated fatty acids making them one of the most healthful of all the fats and oils.
Calories
Olives are a great choice for a low-calorie snack or recipe ingredient. They add flavor and variety with only 7 calories per extra large olive (21 calories per serving). Most think olives have more calories than other foods. Recent research reveals that many think black ripe olives have more than five times the number of calories than they actually have. The truth is olives are a great low calorie food.
Fat & Cholesterol
At only 2.5 grams of fat per serving (4 Large olives), olives are a great low fat alternative to traditional snacks. Not only are olives a low fat food, but they are an excellent source of the good fats that help lower the bad cholesterol.
The fatty acids in olives are highly monounsaturated. The 2 grams of fat in a ½ ounce serving of olives are 75% monounsaturated. Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil have been found not to have the artery damaging LDL-cholesterol, and to leave the beneficial HDL-cholesterol level unaffected or even at a higher level.
