Green olives: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers green olives sold in packaged form, often preserved in brine or oil. Examples include plain pitted green olives, stuffed varieties, and those flavoured with herbs or spices. The ingredient list typically shows olives as the primary ingredient, followed by water, salt, and any added flavourings or preservatives. For products preserved in oil, oil will also be listed. The nutrition label provides information on energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, and salt content per serving. As olives are naturally high in salt due to the brining process, salt content is a key consideration. The Eatwell Guide from the NHS suggests limiting salt intake to no more than 6g per day for adults. While olives contain some fibre, they are not typically considered a significant source of this nutrient compared to whole grains or pulses. Sugars are generally present in very small amounts in plain green olives. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
