Olives... a healthy fat?

Whenever healthy fats are talked about, it is usually avocados, nuts, nut butters, avocado oil, seeds, eggs, fatty fish, yoghurt, heck even *olive oil.* But no one seems to talk about just... straight up olives? Is it because they're actually not a healthy source of fat? Or the taste? What is it? Are they actually a healthy fat?

Answer

I am one of the few people from Croatia that thinks olives are healthier than the oil.

Olive oil is huge in my country. People make a living out of producing it.

It’s mostly Mono so it’s super efficient for fat-loss and healthy at the same time.

Still, I think straight olives are a notch above. How could it not ?

Is macadamia nut oil healthier than straight up macadamias ? I don’t think so.

Answer

Pro olives all the way! 🫒

Olives definitely deserve more hype since they’re high in oleic acid which is a healthy fat, plus other nutrients and antioxidants. I personally think they’re great for salads and snacking.
