Green olives are the fruits of the Olea europaea tree, harvested before full ripeness, when their skin is still green. In their fresh state, they have a bitter and tannic flavor and are often processed through methods such as brining or preservation in oil to make them edible. They are widely used in cooking, particularly in Mediterranean gastronomy.

Fresh peas with pods are spring legumes with bright green pods, containing small, sweet, and tender seeds. Harvested before full maturity, they have a delicate, herbaceous flavor. They can be eaten whole when young, or shelled when more mature.

They can be eaten raw, sautéed, added to soups and risottos, and pair well with ingredients like mint, bacon, and fresh cheeses.

They can be eaten raw in salads or quickly cooked to preserve their flavor and texture. Perfect for soups, risottos, side dishes, and purees, they pair well with aromatic herbs, dairy, and savory ingredients like bacon or ham.
