Informative! I wish I could eat pomegranates all the time. I’ve tried it once when I went to the US years ago. sadly we don’t have much of it back home. I’ve also tried the method of using ice cold water

How utterly beautiful! I have never seen a pomegranate like this. My Nan, when I was a small child in the 1950’s, showed me how to eat them with the end of a hairgrip! It took forever but it was such a treat.

I love pomegranates but never tried the pin method. In fact, I don’t remember eating one till after I’d left England. Your method of peeling looks less messy than mine so I’ll give it a go!

I love Pomegrates but never eat them whenever anyone else is around ‘cos I’d shame myself with the sound of my slurping. I was first introduced to them in the late 1950s by my best friend Nina from infant and junior school in Chelsea. A costermonger sold fruit and veg from his barrow on the road between our two homes, and one day Nina had 6d to spend and said we’d share a pomegranate. I had never seen one before so she showed me how to eat it. She was younger than me by 6 days, but far more sophisticated.

Lived in Ibiza for several years in the 1990’s. A farmer down the road coveted the Carob tree in the garden of the finka I and a girlfriend rented. At crop time he knocked on the door and in pidgen Castillano [Ibithenco was his main language], asked for the Carobs for his pigs and offered in return some fearsome looking Pomegranates. We picked our Carobs and exchanged sacks and I learned to enjoy this most exotic of fruits. Still think it looks like brains though.

Splendid pics, but not just eye candy: ‘Health Benefits of Pomegranate Juice:
Pomegranate has been used for medicinal purposes in the middle and Far East regions for over thousands of years. It was used as a tonic to heal ailments like ulcers and diarrhea. The juice of pomegranate contains antioxidants like anthocyanin and ellagic acid, compounds like gallic acids, and flavonoids like quercetin which offer protection from diabetes, heart diseases, osteoarthritis and several kinds of cancer.’

The title of today’s offering notwithstanding, I must admit my eyes went directly to the box of apples on the bench in front, ignoring the brightly colored pomegranates. The apples may or may not be Cox’s, but they look like it. Where I live in the US, they are rare indeed. And, like Leveller gooseberries, I miss them more than I ever could a pomegranate.
