Olive leaves have the potential to make a powerful impact on health.
Incredibly rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, olive leaves also contain oleuropein – a phenomenal antioxidant. Oleuropein is also present in olive oil and but it’s in much higher levels in the leaves.
Reported benefits of olive leaf include heart health support, blood pressure reduction, antimicrobial and antiviral properties, immune system enhancement and potential benefits for diabetes and weight management.
Adding 1-2 teaspoons of olive leaf powder into your daily diet is an easy way to give yourself a boost. Try adding it to savoury dishes, baking it into bread and other bakes, it’s a fantastic addition to smoothies and it can be prepared identically to matcha drinks.
