Notes / Directions
- Black olives are a great source of iron and vitamin E.
- They are very high in sodium, which is beneficial when you're sweating all day.
- Olives are also high in fiber, but we need not state the importance of fiber on the trail.
- When done drying, they should be pliable and tough.
- The donut shape doesn't lend well to packing efficiently. If necessary, consider a quick blitz in a food processor to get it into smaller pieces.
