Olives, the small, oval-shaped fruits harvested from the Olea Europaea tree, are an integral part of Mediterranean cuisine and have been cherished for millennia. These versatile fruits range in flavor from briny and salty to buttery and mild, offering a delightful addition to various dishes.
From its humble beginnings as a staple food to its modern-day status as a culinary delicacy, the olive continues to captivate palates and inspire culinary innovation.
Olives are a rich source of healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which are associated with heart health. They also contain antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Additionally, olives provide essential minerals such as iron, calcium, and copper, contributing to overall well-being.
When boiling rice, stir a little olive oil or cooking oil into the water. This simple hack prevents the grains from clumping and sticking together, making sure each grain of rice remains separate and fluffy. It's a small step but it makes a big difference.
