Olives ... delicious. I love them but then I love all food ☺️ When pressed they make olive oil. So many people have asked me if extra virgin olive oil is any better for us than plain olive oil... the answer may surprise you and it lies in their anti-cancer properties... ➡️Virgin olive oils are less processed and therefore have substantially higher amounts of polyphenols (which are rich in anti-oxidants) than refined olive oils. ➡️Extra virgin olive oil due to its low yield is more expensive than other types of olive oil, but it contains the highest level of polyphenols. So in relation to protecting yourself from cancer ...extra virgin olive oil wins 🏆
