The word "crushed" when used with olives does not mean the physical pressing down of the product. It actually indicates a slit being cut along the length of the olive which enables the olive to marinate and to mature. These are the preferred olives used by people who add various spices and flavours to their olives the crushing of the olive allows the olive to draw the flavour in. Check out Delphic's Olives range examples available on this website.

Not all olives, there are a few raw stores that sell truly raw sun cured olives. Anything in a can is most likely cooked.

In colder temperatures, where ground water can find its way under concrete and freeze, we use 3/4" of clean stone. This allows water to freeze within the gravel without heaving the concrete. Thus, the concrete can survive repeated freeze-thaw cycles without failure.

If you are home when delivery is made, refuse the shipment and have it sent back to Grubco. If the package is left at your door, it is up to you, the consignee, to reconcile with the delivery service. Unfortunately we will not replace them. We require that someone be at home to receive the package. These are live animals that have to be cared for properly. We can ship to your work address, a friend, relative, etc. if no one will be home.

William's malted grain, in either whole or crushed form, will keep for up to 2 years if stored in the original 1 lb. oxygen barrier package. This is because, unlike coffee, grain has no oils to evaporate when crushed, so the crushed form keeps just about as well as the whole form. The whole form has a slight edge when bought by the sack, however, as our sacks do not have oxygen barrier liners, and the grain has more of a chance of moisture getting in and degrading the flavor.

Yes, with a few exceptions. Small tablets, the size of the end of a pencil or smaller, will pass readily through the pouch into the intestine and are not a concern. Examples include thyroid medication, BDP's, and other hormone tablets. Many larger tablets may stop in the pouch and sit in one spot, will slowly disolve. As some are quite caustic, they will burn an ulcer, and cause pain that will last for days, until the ulcer is healed. It is therefore important to crush them prior to swallowing.

No, olives that have been processed for retail sale have been pickled and the antioxidant effect is dramatically reduced as a result. You would need to consume at least 4-6 ounces of olive oil a day to obtain the same antioxidant effect as one tablet of OLIVENOL™.

It is possible to grow olives in most regions of California. Olives are grown anywhere where the temperatures does not frequently fall below 20 degrees F any time during the winter. There are very large olive growing regions in the Central Valley as well as the North Sacramento Valley.

No, for oil the best maturity stage for ripe fruit flavor and good keeping quality is as the fruit is turning from yellow/green to purple on the outside skin and before the pulp turns black. Table olives are picked green and firm. But olives are also picked at all the other stages of ripeness depending on your desired style of oil.

For ease of swallowing, the tablets can be crushed or cut in half when taken. We do recommend that the tablets be taken with food. Please note that our Vital & Sharp Mind™ product is a softgel, which should not be opened or chewed, and should be swallowed whole. Available January 2007.

The FDA says to be called 'Jam' or 'Preserves', the product must be, at least, 65% sugar. No wonder you can see through the commercial products! Our products are more fruit. So our 'jam' is Crushed Fruit Spread and our 'preserves' are Whole Fruit Spread.

If your package arrives damaged, please notify the delivery person immediately. If the delivery person has left please call us as soon as possible. Red Hill General Store must be notified of any shortage or damaged merchandise within 10 days.

Some people give some tough extra credit assignments to let people make up credit. I have allowed students to re-write their exam perfectly to gain a rebate of 1/3 the points lost. One GTA told their class that they would have the same or similar problem in one week, and that their quiz scores would replace their exam scores on the problem. I think the general idea is to give students a way to do legitimate work to earn grade credit.

Three to four cups, depending on variety and how you pack it. We recommend you use a scale for measuring grain, as it is much more accurate.

Crushed semiprecious stone is available from Bill Baumbeck ( http://www.arizonasilhouette.com/ ). The best grade for pens is probably 'fine'. A 1 oz package will go a very long way on pens! It's best to leave the barrel a tad oversize. You cut a groove into the barrel, or possibly enlarge a natural void with a dremel tool. Then you overfill a small section on top of the pen with the crushed stone. Now you let some CA glue wick into it.

There are times when birds cannot find enough natural calcium, especially in the spring when females need it for their own eggshells and to feed the resulting nestlings. Wash empty eggshells, bake for 30 minutes at 250 degrees and scatter crushed pieces on a platform feeder.

Yes, but it will be necessary to put some padding down first to protect from stones poking through material when tires roll over it. Scrap carpeting, old paneling, plywood or even heavy cardboard can work to offer protection.
