Are Olives Considered a Vegetable?

I know they are. The question is, how many constitute a serving in the Canada Food Guide?

Four days ago, Sharlene inventoried our fresh food supplies. She found we had two potatoes, four onions, one apple, four limes and a few frozen bananas. Today, they are all gone. Last night, we finished the last half onion. Sharlene stir-fried it with a tin of water chestnuts and a tin of bamboo shoots.

Today, we had some olives with our lunch. This is why I am contemplating their nutritional value. How many do I have to eat to get my daily allowance of vegetables?

There haven’t been any markets or stores where we’ve been sailing lately. That will change today. We are heading to Vuda Marina where we’ll have access to a market and grocery stores. Good thing. We should be there before scurvy sets in.
