Hi
Olives are the fruit of olive trees. While they are technically fruit, culinary, olives are often called vegetables because of how they are used. Researchers at the University of Minnesota, for one, have discovered that while Greek, Cretan and other Mediterranean men consumed almost as much dietary fat as Americans, they had much lower rates of Heart disease.
The difference was attributed to the Mediterranean's consumption of extra virgin olive oil, which is largely monounsaturated fat.
The health benefits of olive oil have been recognised by many ancient physicians like Hippocrates, Galen, Dioscorides, and Diocles. In recent years, modern doctors and nutritionists have realised that extra virgin olive oil, particularly, contributes significant nutritional value to human health
