Happy Friday, !

🫒 Food of the week … OLIVES!

These tasty little flavor bombs can be an amazing source of healthy fats.

Plus, they’re the primary component of one of the healthiest oils on the planet: olive oil!

💡 But while almost everyone likes olive oil, olives can be an acquired taste because of their unique, briny flavor.

When they’re fresh, olives are super bitter. But once they’re cured and fermented, they add a delicious salty sharpness to salads, wraps, appetizers, sauces, and more.

✅ Fun fact: olives are a stone fruit, and they’re related to other fruits like cherries and peaches.

One reason they're so healthy is oleic acid, which lowers cholesterol and appears to have heart-protective qualities. 

Plus, they’re packed with anti-inflammatories and are a rich source of vitamin E and other antioxidants.

Which do you like better … green or black olives? ⬇️⬇️⬇️
