Description/Taste

Pomegranates grow on shrubby trees that average between 5 and 8 meters tall. Ranging in color from deep magenta to bright red, the spherical fruits are roughly the size of an apple and have a thin but tough, leathery skin. The interior of the fruit is filled with seeds, technically called arils. The seeds of the Pomegranate are the edible portion. Each seed is enclosed in a translucent, bright red pulp that offers a sweet-tart taste with notes of cranberry, rhubarb, red currant and concord grape.

Seasons/Availability

Pomegranates are available in late fall and winter.

Current Facts

Pomegranates are botanically classified as Punica granatum. The name comes from two French words, "pome" and "granate" literally meaning "apple with many seeds". Though usually the standard red variety is all the general public is exposed to, Pomegranates can range in color fruit from pink, white, yellow and purple. In fact, it is estimated that there are some 500 different cultivars of Pomegranate grown world-wide.

Nutritional Value

Pomegranates are rich in vitamins B and C as well as potassium, protein, carbohydrates and fiber.

Applications

Pomegranates seeds may be easily and cleanly removed by breaking apart the fruits in four or five pieces and submerging in a large bowl of water. The edible seeds will sink and the white inedible membrane will float and is easily skimmed away. The seeds may simply be eaten raw as a snack or added into salads, relishes, garnishes or desserts. The juice is highly flavorful on its own, but may be reduced down into pomegranate molasses or fermented into pomegranate vinegar. Complimentary flavors include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, coconut, lemon, grapefruit, orange, apple, pear, honey, almond, hazelnuts, curry, lamb, chicken and pork.

Ethnic/Cultural Info

The Pomegranate is referenced throughout historical legend and lore. In Greek myth, Hades, god of the underworld, tricked Persephone into eating Pomegranate seeds and forced her to return back to him every winter, making her goddess of the underworld. Biblically, though the apple commonly appears in depictions of the Garden of Eden, many people actually believe that the pomegranate was the real forbidden fruit.

Geography/History

Pomegranates are ancient fruits, with some evidence of their existence dating back to between 4000 B.C. and 3000 B.C. Native to present day Iran and Turkey, research has revealed that Egypt, Jericho and Mesopotamia were the first cultures to domesticate Pomegranate trees in their early orchards. The Pomegranate was first introduced to the Western hemisphere by Spanish settlers in 1769, and today it is cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical climates.
