The Nutritional Value of Olive & Olive Oil
The olive is a nutritional treasure of the Mediterranean diet, as it is a rich source of vitamins E, A and carotenoids, which contribute to the antioxidant protection of the body.
The valuable minerals and trace elements contained in the olive tree include:
✅ Calcium – essential for bone health
✅ Copper – contributes to enzyme production and good brain function
✅ Iron – boosts hemoglobin and fights anaemia
✅ Manganese – helps metabolism and antioxidant activity
✅ Zinc – boosts immunity and promotes cell regeneration
Nutritionists and doctors recommend the daily consumption of 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, as it contains monounsaturated fatty acids, which protect the heart and help regulate cholesterol.
