Olives and Your Health
|
Olives are one of the most mineral-rich fruits on the planet. They are high in important minerals for bone health: magnesium & calcium, as well as vitamins A & E.
Olives also contain oleic acid, vital for keeping your heart healthy on the inside and your skin and hair beautiful on the outside. Rich in protein and anti-fungal/anti-bacterial properties, olives are unmatched in their diverse power. What's more, they are considered an alkaline fruit. This means they have the ability to dissolve mucus and possibly decrease colds, flus, and allergies.

Olives and Fats
|
Some people worry about the fat content of olives. However, they contain monounsaturated fats which are much healthier than the trans fats or saturated fats found in other foods.
Our bodies need fats to strengthen cell membranes, beautify the skin and lubricate our joints and intestines. Olives are an amazing source of healthy and alkaline plant-based fats.

How to Enjoy These Olives
|
These are some of the most nutritious olives ever and are quite possibly the most mineral-rich olives around. Each olive is nearly the size of a prune with thick, juicy, savory olive flesh.
Although they may be enjoyed straight from the jar, you may want to try chopping them up and adding to a salad. You can also try marinating them in a raw salad dressing or with oil and herbs to mellow out the strong flavor.

The Sunfood Difference
| These fantastic olives are unique in the world marketplace! Did you know that most olives are picked long before they are truly ripe and can even be softened with chemicals such as lye? Some olives are artificially darkened with an iron compound called ferrous gluconate and all canned olives are pasteurized (cooked).
Our olives are picked when ripe and contain no salt, no oil, no herbs, and have not been cured. They are 100% untouched, natural, sun-dried, and certified organic raw olives. Grown using permaculture techniques in a coastal region of Southern Peru, they have never been exposed to pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
