The ancient Egyptian kitchen was a bustling place where food was prepared for both daily meals and grand feasts. While there is no evidence of a built-in indoor olive tree grove in ancient Egyptian kitchens, olives and olive oil were still important ingredients in their cuisine. Olives were often used in salads, stews, and bread, while olive oil was used for cooking and as a dressing. The Egyptians also used olive oil for cosmetic purposes, as it was believed to have moisturizing and healing properties. Although the olive tree grove may not have been a feature in ancient Egyptian kitchens, olives and olive oil played a significant role in their culinary traditions.
