Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 My hubby was thinking about trying olives. I know the ingredient Ferrous Gluconate is illegal, but all the black olives I find have that ingredient. So I was looking at green olives and some other colors. The ingredients on those look legal, but I wasn't sure if they were green because they were unripe, or if they were just a different type of olive. Any tips on finding legal olives, especially black ones?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 We found black olives at Costco with nothing added. It's in a large plastic container (not huge, just big). > > My hubby was thinking about trying olives.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 My Trader Joe's Kalamata black olives do not have Ferrous Gluconate. They have salt and red wine vinegar. I have not had trouble finding legal black olives -- prefer Kalamata for taste. Green olives are simply unripe olives that are normally cured in salt brine. Black olives are ripe. However, there are all different varieties of olives. Try looking specifically for Kalamata olives (Greek). Tex Debl wrote: We found black olives at Costco with nothing added.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I found Krino's brand pitted kalamata olives at Costco. They are in a refrigerated 2 lb. plastic container. Ingredients: olives, water, salt, vinegar, olive oil I have Krino's brand tahini from a regular grocery so they may be available at other stores. (If these aren't legal for some reason, please let me know). I only eat a little at a time, vinegar kills me.
