Why do green olives come in jars and black olives come in cans?
<|assistant|>
Green olives typically require more processing before they are canned, meaning they are more susceptible to spoilage. Because they require additional processing, they are generally placed in jars which have a tighter seal and provide greater protection from spoilage. On the other hand, black olives are less perishable, making them more suitable for canning. Cans offer a cost-effective way to preserve and store food.
