The Best Green Olives to Make Meal Stand Out

Do you like olives? I know you do. They’re one of my favorite foods too. There’s something about the salty, briny flavor of an olive that just makes me happy. And they’re so versatile that my favorite foods are incomplete without them i.e. salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and more. Plus, they’re a healthy snack option.

Jarred olives can be found in the international section of most supermarkets, and they make a great addition to any pantry.

I have listed down my five picks for olives that might help you on the basis of these factors i.e. shelf life, preservatives and additives, flavor variation, product type, etc.

I’ve tried lots of different brands of olives, and this one is my favorite. The flavor is really intense, and the texture is perfect. I highly recommend this brand to anyone who loves olives!

Confused about which one to buy?

Though they come in many different varieties, the two most common types of jarred olives are green and black olives. 

Green olives

They are typically milder in flavor than black olives, though their exact taste can vary depending on the brand.

Black olives 

Black olives tend to be saltier and more pungent, making them a good choice for dishes that need a little extra zing. 

How to use olives?

If you’re not sure how to use them, here are a few ideas:

1. Add some olives to your salad for a salty crunch.
2. Put them in your sandwich instead of mustard or mayo.
3. Mix them with some tomatoes and capers for a delicious Italian salad.
4. Make pizza and decor it with olives

Worried about your health? Add olives to your diet

Green and black olives are rich in antioxidants and healthy fats. They also contain vitamins E and K, which are essential for bone and blood health. In addition, olives are a good source of fiber and copper. Copper helps the body absorb iron, which is necessary for carrying oxygen in the blood. Fiber helps to regulate digestion and can promote heart health. Jarred olives are a convenient way to enjoy health benefits.
