[79p depending on where you by it from.] Where the pomegranate is from - point-of-purchase wise, is much less important than the inherit value of this rare fruit worldwide. The pomegranate is a tiny crop compared to apples and Oranges. It is truly a culinary specialty food that is "in season" for a scant 1-2 months per year usually at autumnal harvest time (which can vary from Western to Eastern hemisphere. Now, in the U.S. we will consider cost. A medium large pome of 6-8 oz can cost a median three dollars and range up a little from there in large metro areas (like NYC). A local produce/farmers market may sell the same medium large pome for two bucks...because, pomegranates have a very short shelf life of 3-4 days and they don't want to take it home...so go by the stand close to closing time. In recent times high end restaurants are reprising ages old pomegranate sauces...and they charge for this haute cuisine. This is driving up demand and recognition with the general populace. Pomegranates have never gone out of style with Mid-easterners, Italians, Greeks, and folks from Alabama; all of whom have one to several pomegranate shrubs in their backyard.
