California Ripe Olive Brochures
News Flash!
Not all calories are created equal! Not all fats are created
equal either. That's why the California Olive Industry has
developed Making Olive Your Food Count, a laminated one-page,
two-sided primer on calories and fat, as part of its commitment
to help Americans eat more healthfully.
Making Olive Your Food Count explains the difference
between quality calories versus empty calories, examines
the different types of fat -- saturated, polyunsaturated
and monounsaturated -- and discusses the nutritional benefits
of monounsaturated fats; "the good fat." It also
includes a snack food comparison showing how olives stack
up against popular snack foods, a simple formula for calculating
your total caloric needs per day and helpful shopping hints
and recipe ideas to add variety and flavor to meals using
olives.
This laminated sheet can be easily reproduced on a photocopier.
Experience a taste of the Mediterranean with the California
Olive Industry's new Recipes From Around the Mediterranean
recipe brochure. The brochure features mouth-watering recipes
- such as Grilled Sea Bass with Ripe Olive N' Caper Salsa
and Couscous Salad with Ripe Olives and Roasted Vegetables
- and is a great resource for planning parties, picnics,
special meals or anytime you're craving a delicious recipe
made with California black ripe olives. Remember, olives
are not only a good source of monounsaturated fat - the
"good fat" - they're also a low-calorie snack and recipe
ingredient that compliments almost any meal and lifestyle.
Enjoy!
