Lye treatment is done to remove the bitterness of the olive. Olives contain oleuropein (after their botanical name Olea europea), and it is this substance (a compound called a glucoside) that makes them too bitter to eat directly from the tree.n order to produce edible olives, harvested olives are cleaned and then cured in a natural brine of salt, oil, and flavorings or artificially with lye. For green olives, the salinity is increased by 2% every two to three weeks from the initial salinity of 12-14%.
A giraffe rests by lying with its body on top of its folded legs. To lie down, the animal kneels on its front legs and then lowers the rest of its body. To get back up, it first gets on its knees and spreads its hind legs to raise its hindquarters.
Giraffes only need about 30 minutes of sleep a day! Giraffes take short naps so that they can stay on the lookout for hungry lions. Giraffes donât need a lot of sleep, but you need 10 to 11 hours of sleep a night so that your body can rest, recharge, and grow. If you need to wake up at 7 a.m. to get to school, you should be in bed by 8 p.m. Going to bed the same time every night will help you sleep.
