you are confused-----the colors are related to the PROCESSING of the little bitter balls
Green Olives - International Olive CouncilGreen olives are obtained from olives harvested during the ripening cycle when they have reached normal size, but prior to colour change. They are usually hand picked
You have definitely never harvested olives. That's for sure.Well thats how you harvest olives, and now is the time to harvest, the higher up branch's get cut down so that next year you wont need a ladder to reach the fruit, in the video they dont run away when the Police arrive and as you say no arrests were made

Green olives. Black olives. All olives. They're all harvested the same way here. Shaking isn't enough to get them all. Even the Arabs beat the branches.
I don't know about where you live, but here, the olives are green and then turn black. They can be harvested at either stage, dependingon what you want.
Do you even know what an olive tree looks like? I don't think so.
And yes- I do know about olives. besides having my own- which I harvest, I live in the more-recently-liberated areas and am surrounded by olive growers.
the olive oil thing is the MAIN REASON for ----arab olive growing----the olives are KNOCKED off the tree -------caught ----bundled up and most shipped to the press ----------some are sorted out of the mess for other purposes but if you really want to PICK THEM ONE BY ONE-------go right ahead------just do not expect much of a profit out of your labor
wrong again----the colors are still related to the processing method-----the ripe olive is purple and can be processed to black----AND the less than ripe olive can ALSO be processed to black-----so that the olive remains FIRM ---rather than the soft oily greek style thing------think california canned
That would make you a fool if you have enough to sell and enjoy, but don't do both.the olive oil thing is the MAIN REASON for ----arab olive growing----the olives are KNOCKED off the tree -------caught ----bundled up and most shipped to the press ----------some are sorted out of the mess for other purposes but if you really want to PICK THEM ONE BY ONE-------go right ahead------just do not expect much of a profit out of your labor
I pick my olives, as i enjoy the fruits of my labor, And being non jewish, I dont look for a profit, but enjoy that which I have grown
