What it is

Green olives are unripe fruits from the olive tree (Olea europaea). They are typically cured in brine (saltwater) or a lye solution to remove their natural bitterness. After curing, they are often pitted and may be seasoned or stuffed.

Why it's used

Pitted green olives are primarily used as a food ingredient or garnish. They add a salty, briny flavor and a firm texture to dishes. Common uses include pizzas, salads, pasta dishes, deli salads, and as a snack.

Health notes

Pitted green olives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use. They are a source of monounsaturated fats and some vitamins and minerals. Due to their salt content from the curing process, excessive consumption could contribute to high sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated olives and their preparations.

Allergen info

Olives are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
