My grandma grew these herself. She always had dozens of these in the house. I did not have a single article of clothing that was not eventually covered in red stains.

In Jamaica, it's called Pomgranaat.

Best Fruit. I eat them every year at Rosh Hashana. Other times too, but especially then,

In France, we call them grenades. I like.

Lemme guess, in the Middle East it's called Bombegranate/

That's silly. They aren't allowed to eat anything fun in the middle east.

Whoever grows these things is staging a huge ad campaign to get them everywhere

Suddenly I'm hearing/seeing them 20 times a day

MORE ANTIOXIDANTS THAN YO MOMMA

Fun fact: Is thought to be the forbidden fruit the bible mentioned.

Also there are 613 seeds in each pomegranate, just as there are 613 commandments in the Torah.

>there are 613 seeds in each pomegranate, just as there are 613 commandments in the Torah

Yes. That would be why us Jews eat them on the High Holy Days.

These and whatever is made from them tastes pretty terrible.

I love these. Delicious, and they keep better than most fruits I can think of. The rind will get dry and leathery, yet the arils within remain perfectly juicy. Of course it's seldom they're around that long without being eaten.

I really should have these more. The chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds I had once were DELICIOUS AND ADDICTING.

i've never had one of these and i'm sort of afraid to

like what if they aren't as delicious as they are pretty

how would i cope

Isn't this the thing that if you eat it you become Hades' bitch for seven years or something?

They are every bit as delicious as they are pretty, but make sure to only eat a properly ripe one, and preferably when they're in season.

Persephone ate 7 seeds from a pomegranate and became Hades' bitch for 7 months of the year, yeah. But only because it was grown in the underworld.
