Pomegranite

[bundleone]

I have bought a pomegranite, first one since I was a child, How are you supposed to eat it? all the tiny pips, can they be swallowed?

[Zacs-Master]

Cut it in half and knock out the fruit by hitting the outside with a spooooon.

The pips are the part you are supposed to eat in a pomegranate - they are the bit which is good for you. When we were little, we used to pick them out and eat them one at a time with a cocktail stick.

I have a pomegranate tree that just self seeded in the garden. It's always a fight between me and the birds to get the ripe ones first. Brings to mind one of these romantic bodice ripper novels I once read. "She sensuously bit into the succulent flesh of a pomegranate ". I don't think the author had ever seen a pomegranate

mix the seeds with vanilla ice cream, looks pretty and tastes great.
