Olive Size & Nutrition


Olives  From Biblical times. Olives vary greatly in size ranging from 128 to 140 per pound, for small olives to as few as 30 to 32 per pound for super colossal sizes. Olives are available tree ripened, or green, ripe or black, pitted, pitted and stuffed with onions, garlic, capers, etc., or Spanish style, with pimientos.

Olives are used in cooking, in sauces, for garnishes and as snacks. Olive oil is an important oil (see Fats and Oils). The unattractive film that forms in opened bottles of olives is harmless and can be scraped off. Store opened bottles in the refrigerator.
