Is it safe to eat Green Olives?

[Hanbelle]

This may be a dumb question but I have had a craving for green olives lately and bought a jar of them , I have eaten a lot but it didnt cross my mind that they might be bad for me? I have googled it but didnt get much of a result back , just wondered if anyone has heard anything about whether they are good or not?

Cheers

I love olives and have eaten a tub in two days!

I think the oils are good for you.

Haven't found anything to say you shouldn't, but I guess the type that is stuffed with some soft cheeses might need to be checked.

If you have a jar of olives in brine, just be mindful of the salt content, it's extremely high.

olives are safe they are actually a good source of fibre i also had the craving for them so looked up on it but i have to be quick at eating them my fiance is italian so he loves them lol

here is the info i found hope this helps

.. : Green olives are very healthy for pregnant women. So feel free to follow that craving. Olives provide much-needed minerals and sodium during pregnancy. One cup provides 1/4 of your daily iron needs, 1/5 of the RDA of Vitamin E, and a healthy amount of copper and healthy monounsaturated fats. They can also help prevent pregnancy-related constipation.
