About This Product

While we often see olives incorporated as an insignificant addition to tapas, salads and the like, it’s not often that we get to enjoy this fruit on its own. Out of the numerous varieties of olives available, our Seedless Dried Licorice Olives (Reduced Sugar) makes use of the larger yellow variety. A common traditional Chinese sweetmeat, this healing recipe consists of crisp yellow olives coated in a thin layer of licorice that imparts a salty-sweetness to its dried flesh not unlike our local pickles (jeruk). Unlike most sweetmeats, this snack isn’t just all taste and no benefits. Used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat everything from coughs to gastric or even just to detoxify the body, olives and licorice are a match made in heaven for a healthy nibble. Plus they make a wonderful addition to your diet to open up the appetite!

What Does This Taste Like?
A dried version of your favourite ‘jeruk’ or pickled fruit with a salty-sweet and tangy flavour. Its crisp flesh may resemble a hybrid of dried pineapple and mango.

Health Benefits
1. Olives are rich in vitamin E, iron, copper, calcium and antioxidants.

3. Soothes gastric and gastrointestinal issues such as stomach ulcers, heartburn and other inflammation-related issues. Licorice speeds up the repair of the stomach lining and is anti-inflammatory in nature.
4. Licorice helps to alleviate cold and flu symptoms (coughs and sore throats).
5. Lowers cholesterol due to the flavonoids in licorice that help the body increase its flow of bile.
6. Licorice stimulates the adrenal gland which promotes a healthy level of cortisol, subsequently helping to lower stress levels.
