Common Questions About Olives

1. What are "olive seeds" exactly?

Most people searching for "olive seeds" actually want pitted olives - the fruit with the hard pit removed. The actual seed is that hard stone inside the olive that you can't eat. When it's removed, you get convenient, ready-to-eat olives.

2. Can I plant olive seeds to grow olive trees?

Yes, but it's tricky. You'd need the actual pit (stone) from inside the olive, and it takes years before the tree produces fruit. In Dubai's climate, growing olive trees is challenging but possible with the right care.

3. What's the difference between green and black olives?

Green olives are picked earlier and have a firmer texture with a slightly bitter taste. Black olives are fully ripe, softer, and milder. It's the same fruit, just different stages of ripeness.

4. Are olives good for you despite being high in salt?

Yes, but watch your portions. The healthy fats and antioxidants make them worthwhile, but they are salty. Rinse them before eating if you're watching sodium, or look for low-sodium versions.

5. How many olives can I eat per day?

Around 5-10 olives is a good serving. They're healthy but also calorie-dense because of the fat content. Think of them as a flavorful addition to meals, not something to eat by the handful.

6. Can I give olives to my kids?

Sure, but cut them up for younger kids to avoid choking hazards. Some kids love the salty taste, others need to grow into it. Start with milder black olives - they're less bitter.

7. Why do olives taste so different from olive oil?

Processing makes a huge difference. Olives straight from the tree are incredibly bitter and need curing (in brine or salt) to be edible. Oil is extracted and filtered, giving it a completely different taste.

8. How long do olives last after opening?

In the fridge, covered in their brine, they'll stay good for 2-3 weeks easily. Keep them submerged in liquid and use a clean spoon each time. They'll tell you if they've gone bad - trust your nose.

9. Are olives keto-friendly?

Yes! Olives are perfect for keto diets - high in healthy fats, low in carbs. They make great keto snacks and add flavor to keto meals without adding carbs.

10. What's the white stuff sometimes on olives?

That's usually lactic acid crystallization or harmless yeast from the brine. It's not mold and it's completely safe. If you're unsure, give them a rinse - they'll be fine.

11. Can diabetics eat olives?

Absolutely. Olives have a low glycemic index and won't spike blood sugar. The healthy fats actually help with blood sugar control. Just watch the sodium content.

12. Where can I buy quality olives in Dubai?

Most supermarkets carry olives - Carrefour, Spinneys, Lulu. For specialty varieties, check Mediterranean food stores or delis. We deliver quality olives across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
