Pomegranate

 

pomegranate.jpgThe yummy pomegranate's leathery, red (sometimes pinkish yellow) skin encases hundreds of edible seeds (as you can see), each surrounded by a translucent sac filled with bright red, sweet-tart juice.  The pomegranate is rich in potassium and is a good source of vitamin C.  Select the pomegrante that is heavy for it's size, with bright colored, unblemished skin.  Store the pomegrante in a dark, cool place for up to two months.  To serve, cut the pomegrante in half and scoop out the juice sacs away from the tough, white membranes that seperate them.  Eat the pomemegrantes while they are fresh.  They can be used as a sprinkling to garnish salads or dips, or add them to your organic fish and poultry dish as a nice alternative.

Here are Pomegrante nutrition facts.  I hope you find this information useful.
