I don’t know about you, but my kids LOVE eggs. At first, it was just plain old eggs, but we’ve recently been creeping in other extras into the eggs. Over the years, I’ve realized the health benefit of olives, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that my kids enjoyed the chopped olives in their eggs, like us!  I used California Black Ripe Olives, and mixed them right in with the raw eggs before cooking.
My girls had fun playing with the black olives, too. If kids can play with food (help make the food) they are more likely to want to try new things.
Did you know that California Ripe Olives are a part of a healthy diet? Here’s why!
-  Olives contain monounsaturated fat – the good fat!
-  California Black Ripe Olives are as good as they taste, and are packaged at their peak to preserve nutrients for year-round enjoyment.
-  A serving of olives contains 0 grams of trans fat and olives are naturally a cholesterol-free food!
-  California Ripe Olives are one of the most versatile items in the pantry. They are loved for their unique flavor, texture and color, but also can be part of a healthy diet. Click here to learn more.
