Olives, Ripe, Sliced

Olives, Ripe, Sliced
(Olives, Ripe, Sliced) We usually buy ripe olives in 6-ounce cans, and slice them as shown in the photo.  We use them mostly for adding flavor to various cooked dishes, and for garnish and flavor on salads.  Since ripe olives are processed with salt, and thus high in sodium, we don't recommend "chowing down" on them, but they do enhance the flavor of many recipes.  Slicing the ripe olives helps to distribute the flavor throughout the recipe.  We have also found a variety of flavors and textures between brands of ripe olives, and recommend that people find the brand that they like best.  See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
