Kalamata Olives 200g

Kalamata olives are rich in oleic acid, a type of MUFA linked to improved heart health and cancer-fighting properties.
They’re also a good source of iron, calcium, copper, and vitamins A and E.

Moderation is key
To keep your saturated fat intake within the recommended guidelines, it’s best to limit your intake to 2–3 ounces (56–84 grams) — about 16–24 small- to medium-sized olives — per day.

Kalamata olives are healthy when consumed in moderation, but it’s important to remember that, like all olives, they’re high in sodium.

Having too much sodium in your diet forces your heart to work harder to do its job and can lead to conditions that include congestive heart failure and kidney disease.

Kalamata olives have a whole host of amazing health benefits that in our opinion qualify them for superfood status. About 75% of the fat contained in kalamata olives is monounsaturated fatty acids, which research links to a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
