Good Morning Everyone!

Sorry I'm a bit later than usual today.

Today's question is about a fruit that I didn't have until 4 day ago.

Do you like pomegranate?

I had one on Tuesday. It was delicious! One of my favorite fruits

 

[sk_pacer]

Yes, I do like them however, do NOT like the price of them.

Very true. Since they're imported from India, they have quite the price attached to them.

I love them but haven't had them in years.

 

[tara g]

I've never had one!

I never had one. Isn't it just seeds?

Yep, but there's a lot of them and each seed is surrounded by a little juice filled sac

 

[ut0pia]

I like it but it's a pain to eat it so many seeds ...

 

[catlover19]

Never had one but I like pomegranate flavoured stuff.

 

[kara_leigh]

I can't say I've ever eaten an actual pomegranate before.

I too like them,its just such a pain trying to get the seeds to munch on and a bit messy,you can buy pomegranite juicss now but WOW very very pricey.

I have a wonderful recipe for a fall salad with pomegranate seeds. Did you know that if you peel the fruit under water in the sink the seeds will rise and you won't get any of that terribly staining juice on you? Just take them out of the sack and then scoop them out with a strainer.

I love them, they are expensive but a nice treat

Oh, but what seeds! Tiger is right about the juice sac. Actually they're called arils, and they are quite delicious! YUM.

 

[kailie]

LOVE them! Tasty and good for you!

Actually the seeds sink, it's the white part that floats. But that's the best way to prepare them. I cut off the crown and score the sides with a knife and rip it apart underwater.

Yes, my sister and I have had them for dessert a couple of times recently.
