Source: General nutrition data for cured/brined olives; sugar content varies by curing method and is consistently very low. Total carbs: USDA FoodData Central ~3.8-6.3g carbs per 100g depending on green/black variety, scaled to a 40g (10-olive) serving — most of it fiber, not sugar or starch. GI: low — negligible available carbohydrate and a high fat content mean olives have minimal blood-glucose impact. (last verified 2026-08-23)
