Olives are awesome! They add flavor to our dishes, but they also have amazing health benefits such as: supporting eye health, reducing seasonal allergies, decreasing the rick of developing diabetes, promoting blood vessels function and gut health, and preventing infections.

Olives are a good source of fiber, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E and vitamin K. They also provide some magnesium, phosphorous and potassium, as well as B vitamins.
