Why do green olives come in jars and black olives come in cans?
<|assistant|>
Green olives need to be picked when they are ripe, and they spoil quickly, so they need to be stored in an environment that is controlled and protected from elements. Therefore, they are typically stored in a jar which provides an airtight and humidity-free seal to help them stay fresh longer. On the other hand, black olives can survive the picking and packing process, and they can withstand transport and be stored at room temperature. Because of this, they are typically packed in cans that provide an environment for air circulation, which helps to preserve them.
