<pre>Hi Julie,
You're right, they're not olives, they're actually a variety of canarium. I
have been doing some more research and will share it when I finish. I've
just tasted about five different kinds and they are very spicy!
Best wishes,
Margaret

Hello Margaret,
Are you sure these fruits are olives? I grew up eating all the various
Chinese preserved fruits and was always under the impression that they were
different types of plum. While the fruit was about the size of a large
olive, and usually black or green, the seeds were certainly not like olive
seeds - larger and with sharp points on both ends. Regards,
