i am just wondering as i’m having a disagreement with my boyfriend if there is any difference between a green olive and a kalamata olive? I know there is a ripening process involved but i think i’m right when saying they are not related whatsoever!!!! Can someone tell me if they are all grown on the same tree? i won’t sleep till i have an answer just to prove him wrong….Thankyou!!!

Don’t we worry about high amounts of sodium in our diets?

I soak the olives in water for a few days to get some of the sodium out of it.

I love all kinds of olives and am happy to have broke free of the culturally instilled erroneous fear that they are too fatty to eat very many of them. Now that I purposely include high fat foods in my diet, olives and their oil are a staple.

I love the looks and questions I get from co-workers when I break out my salad loaded with olives, feta, and avocado and then I drown it all in olive oil dressing. One ’round’ lady told me that I’m gonna get fat eating like that. I wasn’t sure how to tactfully answer her. When I realized she was eating a bagel smothered in cheez whiz I decided it wasn’t worth my effort to try.

So, go ahead and indulge in the olives! They are lovely! Primal! Nourishing! Exotic! Full of flavor! And they make others wonder how you can eat like that and stay so fit!

Mmmmmm I’m getting hungry! That picture of the steak is incredibly mouth watering!

I agree that the canned variety barely qualifies as an olive. The ones sold at the deli are the best.

I too had no idea that black olives were a riper version of green olives. Unfortunately I’m not the greatest fan of them but some of these rceipes might help me to get them into my diet. In particular the steak with olives recipe looks scrumptious.

I just went to a new market close by that had a great looking olive bar. I love olives, especially with garlic. The recipe for the steak sounds great.
