Sliced ripe olives are olives that have reached full maturity and are cut into thin slices or pieces. This format is very practical for direct use in various cooking recipes, as they add flavor and texture without requiring additional preparation.
Origin: Olives are the fruit of the olive tree, a tree native to the Mediterranean region. Its cultivation has spread to different parts of the world with similar climates, such as some areas of Latin America. Ripe olives usually have a dark color, ranging from purple to almost black, and a milder, less bitter flavor than green olives.
Properties: Sliced ripe olives are an excellent source of healthy fats, primarily oleic acid, a type of monounsaturated fat beneficial for cardiovascular health. They also contain natural antioxidants, vitamin E, and minerals such as iron and calcium. Adding sliced ripe olives to your dishes not only enhances the flavor but also provides nutritional benefits.
SYNONYMS in Latin American Spanish: sliced black olives, split olives, olives cut into slices.
