Olive
Other names olives
Olive: moderate in salicylate. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateModerate
Olives measure 26.7 mg of salicylic acid per kilogram - seventh highest of the 112 foods in the Malakar survey, level with beetroot. What saves it is the serve: a black olive is about 6 g, so one delivers 0.16 mg, and the paper's own conclusion is that this axis is better read per serve than per kilogram. A bowl of olives with drinks is where that stops being reassuring.
