Type 2 Kalamata olives

[woollygal]

When I was out last week I had some of these and they were edible. (I generally hate olives).

Going out today and thinking I can get a little pouch of them but do they need to be kept cool? It can they just be in a bag?

They will be ok in a bag. The brine they have been soaked in will stop them going off.

I too only really like Greek olives.....no idea why prefer Greek olive oil too.

The green ones are just so salty and bitter! I keep trying but I just cannot bear them

I have developed a taste for those tiny little peppers with cream cheese in!

Probably only one reason why and not a good reason at that!

Me too often have them with a little ham for lunch.

You can buy olives in a sort of foil pouch. There are other similar black olives as well as the Kalamata ones.

Are they ok for us type 2s. Assumed because they were so sweet and delicious that we shouldn’t have them!

I buy mine in Aldi in a square jar. It states less than 0.5 carbs in 100grams.

Check on the label.. the info there can be very useful...

I think they will still have a label on the back.. which will give you the carb percentage..
From that you could decide if they'd be good for your blood sugar or not.
Label reading is a very useful habit to get into.

I've never found any that are anywhere near low carb - and I've looked a lot - roast your own pieces of pepper with a drizzle of good olive oil (be careful with the portion size) then spread with cream cheese - job done
