[@mchevre]

@@innercityprepper The video is misleading. Darker colored olives are usually that way because they ripened longer on the tree, and green ones are picked before they fully ripen. The video discusses a very specific process that turns a green olive into a mass-marketed mild "black olive" that we use on pizzas, but it implies that this is the explanation for ALL dark colored olives, which is far from accurate.

[@cipriannecsutu]

The ones fermented naturally (without the blackening chemical) are far better. Also they turn dark and beautifull in the three if you pick them later. It also ads more flavor.

Ferrous gluconate is nasty stuff. AFAIK black olives are the only food item where this chemical is still allowed in the EU.

[@mchevre]

This video is very misleading. Firstly, olives were eaten by people in the Mediterranean region waaaay before some Californian farmer figured out a way to make her specific crop more palatable. Hopefully that bit of misinformation is obvious to everyone, I mean, olives have been eaten long before Europeans even knew California existed. The second misleading thing is the implication that all dark olives are simply green olives turned black through this oxygenation process. It's blatantly untrue. Sure - this woman may have figured out how to turn green olives black, but aside from that specific variety of "black olives" - generally speaking, it's far more accurate to say that green olives are picked unripe and dark olives are picked when further ripened. When you go to a store and observe all the varieties of olives, from green to various shades of purple and black, it is usually the case that the purple and black ones were picked as that color on the tree just as the green ones were. You can google images of fresh uncured olives and observe that they come in both green and dark variations. You can even observe images of dark olives still on the tree.
