King Olives

Olives are stone fruit. They come in many hues of green, purple or black. The colour depends on how ripe they are. Olive trees are native to the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Olives are often the main agricultural product there. Few people know that green olives are actually unripe olives. That is also why their flesh is more robust. Black olives are softer and juicier and contain more oil, because they are ripe. Olives are very healthy! They contain high concentrations of vitamins and minerals, and are rich in unsaturated fatty acids.
