Should you eat the white part of a pomegranate seed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You CAN eat the membranes that hold the seeds in place... in fact, if you get organic pomegranates - no pesticide residue on them - you can even eat the skin. The supposedly "inedible" portions of the fruit are in fact loaded with antioxidants and despite the fact they are a bit bitter, are very good for you. I often just munch the seeds whole, including the membranes and the actual seeds themselves, which some folks spit out (the seeds are QUITE tasty, actually!), after sucking off the fleshy red part around them - just as i like to eat a bit of the rind of watermelons, as well as the white portions of oranges (called "zest", appropriately!), because these parts of the fruit are packed with good things and are not in the slightest toxic - nor will they give you a stomach ache unless you eat a lot of them. Pomegranate juice is in fact often made by grinding up the entire fruit, skin included. The skin has excellent anti-bacterial properties by the way......so don't be afraid to eat it, despite the bitter flavor which is the result of tannins: its VERY good for you!!

Do pomegranate trees have fibrous roots?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, pomegranate trees have fibrous roots. The coarse, non-aggressive, non-invasive, shallow, spreading, white roots make pomegranate trees (Punica granatum) cooperative candidates for bonsai gardens -- as well as many indoor and outdoor edible, ornamental gardens -- since the native responds well to branch, leaf and root pruning. They result in pomegranate trees readily meeting their light, moisture, nutrient and temperature requirements within the critical, top five inches (12.7 centimeters) of soil.

What is pomegranate juice and vodka called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pomegranate juice is a fairly new product, and I don't think a name has been settled upon.

Vodka, orange juice, and grenadine make a Vodka Sunrise, which is a Tequila Sunrise with a vodka substitution.

Grenadine, a red syrup, is traditionally made with pomegranate, although you should check the ingredients, because many manufacturers have eliminated it to save costs.

How do you clean pomegranate stains off your hands?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I LOVE pomegranates!!! And yes, I've gotten pomegranate stains on my clothes. What I've done is soak that spot (immediately) in 1/2 c. milk for hours (even over night) and then I spot-wash with regular laundry detergent. Presto! Stain gone. I've noticed, though, that if I rinse the stain (with water) before soaking in milk, the stain will turn purple (and soaking in milk will not work).
