Have been on a green olive kick. Don't ask me why.
My Daddy was the only one in our family of four who liked olives. Remember him saying a person had to eat ten of them before they liked 'em. Well, me and daddy were connected at the hip, so I'm here to say he and I were the two B's who liked olives.
First, olives are salty. All the hype about salt has me confused. Know for a fact that a sore throat can be healed by gargling salt water. Have done it many times.
A bit of research leads me to some interesting data......
➤Olives are an antioxidant-rich food.
➤By eating a daily serving of healthy olives one can help improve cognitive function, brain health and memory.
➤Olives are anti-inflammatory and have anti-cancer properties.
There are alot of foods available to us, and for that we are incredibly fortunate. All of us have our preferences and dislikes. Like with all else. It's a fun memory for me, after all these years, to remember daddy and me being the olive lovers in the B-family. Little things keep us connected to those who came before us, but continue to live inside our hearts. Can't ever eat an olive without thinking of my Daddy!
