Question

Which are better black or green olives?

Answer 1

not quite sure if you are asking which are healthier or personal preference. I like them both but green are my favorite

Answer 2

I personally like green olives better than black, but I enjoy them both.

Answer 3

I'm sorry I don't like either =)

Answer 4

They have a completely different taste from one another so to ask which is *better* is a subjective question. Are you asking because you want to switch them in a recipe? Or are you just asking for other's opinions?

Black olives are the ripe version of the green ones and are generally alot more bland and processed with much less salt (unless you're talking about Greek or Mediterranean style olives...YUMMM). Green olives are often very salty and stuffed with anything from tiny bits of pimento to cubes of Danish blue cheese.

In my very humble opinion, they BOTH are awesome..and I can't  imagine a culinary life without either :)

Answer 5

In general I like green olives better.  I can eat them straight out of the jar.  But black ones are OK if they're in a casserole or salad.  I couldn't just pop one in my mouth.
