Celebrating the Drupe Branch!
On the first of June, American celebrate National Olive Day..
Contrary to belief, the olive is NOT a fruit or a vegetable. It is a drupe. This means that it is a
fruit with pit in the middle and generally grown on a tree branch. (examples: apricot, plums and
cherries)
In this video I offer fun facts about olives and my top 3 here in America and how they are used:
Kalamata, Castelvetrano and Manzanilla.
I would love to hear your comments and suggestions on how you use olives
OR send me a recipe that I can share with others on my YouTube Channel.
