Are olives good for you?

Yes. Olives are one of the most nutrient-dense whole foods you can eat. They are rich in monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and polyphenols -- the same antioxidants found in high-quality EVOO. The fermentation process used to cure Kosterina olives also creates beneficial probiotics that support gut health. They are naturally low in carbohydrates and a satisfying, heart-healthy snack.
