MY girls' love to eat black olives. Its filled with good fat and its really healthy for the kids. Do you guys give black olives as a snack for the kids?

Sure, when I have a kid they can certainly have olives as a snack if they like them, but I will limit their intake as they can be high in sodium as well.

Seems to be harder to find black olives here in mexico. the grren ones are easier. Do you know do black and green have the same food values except for the photocolors? I enjoyed olives as wellwhen I was a kid and still do. :)

i love olives. very fattening though so i dont eat them very often! i like the black olives, but my favorite are green olives! actually if i want to be specific, my favorite are Green Dill Olives! or Italian olives...oooh or olives stuffed with garlic! those are good too lol! just about everybody in my household likes olives, so they never last very long when we do get them. perhaps 2 or 3 times a year..then a bit more the November and December..they are an essential part of any veggie plates we make for the holidays!

My kids both love black olives. They like to put one on the end of each finger and eat them off that way. It is cute. The 2 of them could eat a whole can of them in one sitting. I like them too.

Here we have an ample supply of Kalamata black olives which are the best in the world and delicious to snack on, a local fisherman gave me a giant jar full the other day from his trees which he had picked last winter and prepared himself washing them in salt water every day for a week then adding vinagarette to them. My son hasn't developed a taste for them yet but don't think it will be too long.
