Thank you.  It's very helpful to have a first-hand account of what 
they're like.

>From what I've read, the red pomegranates that are sold in U.S. 
markets are of varieties that are considered sweet.  The sour 
cultivars are reserved for making pomegranate syrup and other 
such products.  If what you ate was sweeter than a red 
pomegranate, then that tells me a lot about white pomegranates.
