Olives (zaytun) have numerous health benefits,including being rich in vitamins (in particular vitamin E),minerals, monounsaturated fats, and anti-oxidants.They are full of nutritional value,helping to fight against a number of critical diseases;including cancer,anthritis,osteoporosis, constipation,inflammation and asthama.It isn't any wonder that Allah has sworn by the olive in the Quran;"By the fig and the olive,and the Mount of Sinai............."[surah at-Teen;95:1-2]
And a tree(olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai,that grows(produces) oil,and (it is a)relish for eaters.*
(Surat al-Muminun:20).
