Does any one know the pomegranate fruit ?

Love my pomegranates...and love the juice! I have a Garlic Press, and I fill the holder for the garlic, with pomegranates seeds and pulp and just push down, the seeds stay in the holder and you get the lovely juice and pulp, all seperated! It is easy then to fill ice cube trays with the juice and freeze, then put the cubes in a plastic bag! They are very expensive here...about $3.99 each! But it's something I splurge on! Marguicha...remind me and I will PM you the recipe for dressing (salad)!

Pomegranate has lots of very bright red seed inside. The outer part, the red one, is very sweet. The white seed inside is very bitter. I would never use a blender as the bitter part would blend with the red sweet outer part. The only way I have eaten it is as I said, seed by seed and spiting the bitter white seed insede. I don´t know how they make the red juice (called "granadina" in my country).

Peeling the pomegranate underwater avoids the dirty red spots that can't get washed from the clothes. It sometimes pops some juice on my shirt. The water also make the seeds sink down to the bottom of the bowl and the white peel floats up. The red seeds are not very sweet , they are sweet and also soure. the more they are red , the more they are soure. To stowyk. I don't put the pomegranate in the blender , lol , it will make a bitter juice from the peel. The whole point is to make the juice only from the red juicy stuff that covers each and every seed. all the rest is not tasty , even bitter. by the way , you have a nice cat up there , in the picture. In my country we have a special bless that involves the pomegranate , we wish to do as many good acts as the number of the pomegranate seeds.This blessing is used to be said about the upcoming year. (they say there are many seeds and not all of them are at their full size. that's true). This is one of the blessings of "rosh ha shana" (hebrew for "the beggining of the year").

There is also more information at pomegranateinformation.com You can see information about it's health benefits. I personally like the taste of the pomegranate : soure and sweet with a lot of juice. By the way , most of the materials or in the seeds so it is better to chew them. There is also a white kind of pomegranate. It's seeds are sweet and not soure and its juice is pink , not red.

Thanks for welcoming me. I'm happy to be here , sharing my opinions. At this very month , pomegratanes are available in my neighbourhood on the trees , I just pick them up and eat them in my house , make juices of their seeds. At the market they are expansive , 1.5$ per killogram. it is like 6 israeli shekels per kilogram.

I don´t think that inseason pomegranates cost more than half a dollar each, maybe less. As for granadina, it might cost around $10 or less a bottle with one liter.
