Black Olives
Black olives are the fully ripened fruit of the olive tree, typically processed and canned for preservation. The canning process often involves oxidation, which contributes to their mild, slightly sweet flavor compared to the more intense flavor of green olives. While providing healthy monounsaturated fats, black olives are also a source of sodium due to the brining process used in canning, and are commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, salads, and as a pizza topping.
