Olive Boy Says -

Olives are very nutritious. Olives are high in Monounsaturated fat, iron, Vitamin E, and dietary fiber. Naturally ripened purple/black appearing olives contain anthocyanins. This does not include artificially ripened "black olives" that are frequently canned and sent to grocery stores. There is also an effect that typical processing has on the quantity and type of anthocyanins contained in olives.

Olive harvest began August 25th for fresh olives. The large (Bell-Carter, Musco) canneries opened on September 8th. Harvest found us with plentiful help—fewer olives than pickers. But we shall survive! Warm summer temperatures sized the fruit and ripened it to perfection. Thanks! - Olive Boy
