* I do not count this olive oil. You may add it in and see if the points change.
** Do not use the tough dark green leaves, only the white and part of the light green. They are very sandy an must be washed really well. Slice each stalk into fourths and slice into small pieces. Wash and rinse them until all the dirt is removed.
