BANG FOR THE BITE


If 10,000 SF Biters buy a 750mL bottle of organic olive oil rather than a nonorganic one, we'll save the weight of just over one bar of gold in pesticides.

The Bite
Cash on in with tasty, golden olive oil. Its "good" fats make it ideal for cooking, and with organic versions, prospects for a healthier planet are golden.

The Benefits

  • A health goldmine. Olive oil's Omega-3 and Omega-9 fatty acids are known for their skin-beautifying benefits - and 2 tbsp of olive oil each day may reduce the risk of heart disease.
  • Safety to bank on. Pesticides are fat-soluble and thus concentrate in the oil portion of plants (and that includes olives). Choose organic to decrease exposure risks.
  • It's eco and economical. A Greek study found that organic olive groves cause fewer CO2 emissions than conventional ones and that both methods can be economically viable for farmers.

Personally Speaking
When she first started Ideal Bite, Heather was so busy (and, let's be honest, dead broke) that she sometimes drank olive oil straight from the bottle for dinner.
