Health Benefits

Monounsaturated fats can help lower bad cholesterol levels (LDL cholesterol) and reduce the risk of heart disease when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
- Full of Antioxidants: Green olives are packed with antioxidants, such as vitamin E and polyphenols. These compounds help protect the body's cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals. Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties, which can promote overall health and well-being. Polyphenols, on the other hand, have shown potential anti-inflammatory effects, reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
