How to choose olives & jarred peppers

Choose the olive or pepper variety, whether it is pitted or stuffed, and its packing liquid. Marinated and stuffed products can include oil, cheese or a filling with its own ingredients.

Compare edible or drained amounts when choosing jar sizes, and check sodium for a similar portion. Color, firmness and preservative ingredients can serve different roles; use the exact list when deciding what you want to avoid.
