Dailure (from Julie) - Pomegranates!


What a fun and very messy fruit!

Yum. Now you can buy just the seeds (and avoid the work) at Trader Joe's ....

I like Pomegranates. They seem to me,to be, a labor intensive fruit. How much juice can you squeeze from a sole seed?

They are kind of labor intensive (YES!!!) but if you pretend that each seed is a little gem, then you can fool yourself (if you're dumb like I am) into thinking that the seeds are treasure. I seeded two big poms and juiced them in our nifty juicer... got about 12 ozs. I mixed the juice with other things so that the juice lasted about a week. It's pretty intense stuff... but quite tasty.

Did any of you eat them as children? I grew up with them in Argentina and loved eating them because they were labour-intensive and because they were messy. Perfect way to keep children occupied AND they're healthy too.

Sally-
I never saw (or maybe just never noticed?) poms until I got to college in 1974. I would have liked peeling them, but I bet the little bitty seeds would have put me off when I was a kid. Mostly, I don't think I was sophisticated enough to eat them!

Maybe the work makes them better -- and I agree with Robot Blogger -- they are like little gems!
