MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Is Olive Oil really considered juice?

I’m not sure why, but this fact blew my mind when I read it. I use olive oil pretty regularly. Cooking, with salads, dressings, all the time! But this never crossed my mind.

Olive Oil is actually considered a “fruit juice”. The reason being, olives are a fruit so by definition olive oil is fruit juice.

I just can’t imagine drinking it straight up out of a glass for some reason.
