Answers:
You CAN, assuming you clean it first, but it's hard and tasteless!. The olives people eat aren't fresh; they've been pickled in brine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, the olive straight from the tree will be very hard and unpalatable!. In order to get a nice, edible olive, it must be soaked in brine for one to six months!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
