POMEGRANATES

Pomegranates are a many seeded fruit about the size of a large orange, with a tough reddish-purple or reddish orange skin (There are also yellow, green and white varieties).  The hundreds of small red edible seeds are surrounded by a reddish, juicy, jelly-like  tangy pulp.  Pomegranates are native to western Asia, but are now grown widely in Mediterranean countries, China and Japan.

Pomegranates are unique fruits, and they have no close relatives.  There is disagreement among taxonomists as to what family they belong to, and they are frequently placed in an order of their own, Granateae.

Pomegranates can be eaten as a fresh fruit, but more often the juice is used in beverages, sauces, jellies, soups, etc.  Grenadine was originally made from pomegranates.  Pomegranate seeds are also used as a garnish, and ground seeds may be used in curries, chutneys and bread.
