I love it, but I've never mastered the art of removing the seeds. When we lived in California our neighbor had a pomegranate tree that hung over our backyard and the kids would sit around the pool and make a huge mess pulling them apart. Great photo.
I love their place in Greek mythology! I love the way they sit inside the skin of the fruit! I love their health benefits! I love their color! I love them on salads or in salsas, but I don't love them juiced. The POM juice is too strong and concentrated for my palate!
What I like about eating them is you have to do it slow, and take your time. Not like a banana I can wolf down on my way out the door. :) Have a nice weekend.
We can thank the Greek Goddess Persephone for eating those seeds and giving us winter! LOL!!! So, what's done is done!!! LOL!!! I say eat and enjoy! They are so yummy!
You took me back years with this post...my maiden aunt first introduced me to pomegranates way back. Back then we used to eat them with a needle. It took hours painstaking picking out each seed but so rewarding with each jewel. A lot of work but all worth the effort. Nowadays we know all that's needed is to cut the pomegranate in half and whack the skin with a wooden rolling pin to remove the seeds....somehow that doesn't seem so much fun but then I suppose it depends what kind of a day you've had and how much pent up energy you might want to get rid of ;D
I have never had pomegranate seeds! I shall have to try them. Lovely photo.
