Olive Leaves

Description

Originating from the Mediterranean region, olive leaves have been used in both cooking and medicine for centuries, right up to the present day. They boast a pungent, mildly bitter taste. Olive leaves provide energy, stabilize blood pressure, and strengthen your cardiovascular and immune systems. They also help regulate blood sugar levels and act as an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging agent.

USAGE: Olive leaves are used to make tinctures or teas, often combined with other herbs to enhance their flavor. Ground olive leaves are a fantastic spice for rice, pasta, and other grain dishes. Just like bay leaves, you can add olive leaves to your meat and fish dishes.
