Did you know?
Fresh olives picked straight from the tree are extremely bitter and inedible because of a compound called oleuropein; they must be cured in brine, water or lye before they can be eaten.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
