Today, on this week of episodes focusing on power snacks that are equal parts easy, delicious and nutritious, I’m talking about a couple of snacks that are especially great for those times you’re not crazy hungry but you’re more looking for a party in your mouth–something to break up the day. As fermented foods, they are also good–and unexpected–sources of probiotics.

Specifically, I’m talking about pickles and olives.

With info on the beauty of the pickle plate, and the surprise revelation that these are both fermented foods and thus, good sources of probiotics (something we would ideally eat a little of every day).

Research on the elaic acid in olives and its role in mitigating breast cancer risk.
