About Pomegranate

The pomegranate is a thick-skinned several-celled reddish berry that is about the size of an orange.  It has sweet/tart, juicy edible seeds.  Pomegranates appear to be a seasonal fruit, available as an import in our area only in autumn and winter.  We split them open with a knife and have fun picking out the juicy seeds and eating them.  See the nutritional chart below.
