Green and black olives are one and the same species, but green olives are unripe so they are still growing on a tree, but black ones are ripe so they start fall

Green and black olives are one and the same species, but green olives are unripe so they are still growing on a tree, but black ones are ripe so they start falling down by themselves and you can pick them up from the ground, which is much easier.
- weaksauce 9y agoThe article states that she had a recipe for artificially ripening the olives. I don't think the olives are picked ripe.
