Nutritionist Starodubova: olives contain good intestinal fiber … Antonina Starodubova, nutritionist of the Moscow Health Department, told AGN Moskva.
According to the doctor, olives support intestinal health and reduce the risk of developing cancer. 30 grams of olives contains about five percent of the RDA for dietary fiber. Olives are lower in calories than olive oil – 120 calories are equivalent to 60 grams of olives.
The specialist also warned that a standard can of canned olives contains the daily amount of salt. Pitted olives contain more salt and retain more of their natural flavor with it. The nutritionist explained to the Russians the difference between olives and olives, noting that they do not differ in nutritional value.
“Black olives (olives) are slightly higher in calories due to a slightly higher content of fat and less protein, carbohydrates and dietary fiber. However, these differences are not significant, and when choosing olives, you should focus on your taste preferences, “Starodubova explained.
Earlier, the Florentine authorities decided to involve the townspeople in caring for olive groves on the territory of the municipality, offering residents to actually” adopt ” personal tree. Future “guardians” will have the right to care for the plant, to harvest from it and to produce their own olive oil.
