[Sca-cooks] pomegranate fresh arils

[Sandra J. Kisner]

I just crunch away (sprinkled over cottage cheese or in yoghurt is a nice quick way to eat them, if OOP), but I've been known to put them in a ziplock bag and roll it around to squeeze out the juice if I need it for something.  I've been told a lot of the flavor is in the seeds, but I haven't tested it myself.

Subject: [Sca-cooks] pomegranate fresh arils

When I saw a plastic container of Pom Poms Pomegranate Fresh Arils at my HEB grocery, I want ahead and bought it. I’m trying to modify my diet and eat more healthily as well as adding some probiotics and other things to my diet.

They also have had fresh pomegranates, but looking at past discussions in the Florilegium, it seems like a lot of work to get these out of the fresh fruit, so I’m glad I didn’t jump up and get several of those.

These end up being small reddish, purple blobs of fruit flesh, but have a small, hard seed inside.

I was wondering whether to just eat and swallow these hard seeds.

Back in Nov 2005, Adamantius said:
<<< Each section
consists of small juice-bearing kernels, somewhat like the little
juice cells in an orange, only each has a small, white seed. You eat
the kernels (each shaped something like a small kernel of maize
corn), with most people spitting put the actual seed. >>>

So, I’m still not sure what to do with all these tiny seeds. So far I’ve been swallowing the tiny seeds.

Thanks,
