Olive Nutritional Information

Olive Nutritional Information.

California Ripe Olives have only two grams of fat in a 15 gram serving, with the majority of fat coming from monounsaturated fat and part of the remaining fats being essential fatty acids. One serving contains only three percent of your total fat intake for the day. Contrary to what you may think, olives are not high in calories. In fact, an extra large Black Ripe Olive has only seven calories - and a serving equal to only 25 calories! This makes olives an ideal snack or ingredient for adding flavor and variety to the lower fat meals you prepare.
