Hades offered his wife Persephone some pomegranate (or pomegranate seeds) so she would have to consider the Underworld her home.
1) Take all of the red seeds out, place them in a bowl, and eat them. These seeds may be taken out by either placing the pomegranate in water and taking off the skin, popping out the seeds with your hands, or cutting the fruit in half, taking out the seeds with a spoon or fork, and placing them in a bowl.
2) Eat the seeds with a spoon. As explained in 1, you may cut the fruit in half and eat the red seeds, but using a spoon to eat them directly out of the pomegranate.
3) Do not take out the seeds, but eat them out of the pomegranate. You may, again, cut the fruit in half, but this time using no spoon nor hands, and just eating the seeds right out of the fruit. I would not recommend this, however, as it becomes very messy. The juice inside the red seeds easily squirts out, and can get on cloth, skin, etc.
The juice inside the pomegranate it very sweet and tangy, and sometimes a bit tart, if not fully ripe. A fully ripe pomegranate is very juicy, and more sweet than tangy. The small, white seeds inside the red seeds may also be eaten.
The only part of the pomegranate that may not be eaten is the red skin covering the outside, and the thin, white layer of skin beneath.

Pomegranates can be used for lots of types of food, which have pomegranates as the main ingredients. The foods are usually sweet because pomegranate is a sweet fruit. For example you can make pomegranate jelly or even a sweet pomegranate chutney.
depending on the type of grapefruit; but most have a yellow skin that you dont eat, and a ruby red looking color inside that you eat.
Pomegranates do grow in New Mexico in some areas particularly in San Antonio near Socorro, Williamsburg near Truth or Consequences for over 200 years and even in Albuquerque and Corrales. With a southern facing micro climate or in a container they could grow even in Santa Fe with some creativity. The wood ,resilient woody bush can make it in Santa Fe but it is possible that only in the mildest winter/springs times will it bear fruit. Even as a non-bearing bush there is a beauty to its lacy leaves.... from lkreitzer@juno.com..the fig expert
There are 160 calories in one cup of pomegranate seeds as well as 10 grams of fiber.
Peak buying season is between March and June in Australia
Yes they are they are healthy but don't give them to kids that are the age 2
That's simply the color of the fruit. (God's wanted to make the challenge of getting the fruit out worth the risk to staining your clothing :-)
because they get stained by the fruits natral color that Alah,gunyum,jesus,and whatever god u belive in made.
Why would you cut it unless you were going to eat it??? Anyway, keep it refrigerated and it will probably last as long as you need it to.
I just got sick eating poms two days in a row. The taste was just a bit off but none the less they were okay. Gave me a real bad stomach ache. I have had them around for quite awhile, I like them to last until February & I start buying them in Oct. I still have quite a few left. I am a little leery now to eat the ones that are not ruby red. I have had poms with a little mold inside or mushy brown spots that I just discarded that part & the rest was fine. Not sure if by putting them in the refrigerator I tainted them or what. I usually just keep them in the cold garage this time of year and they are fine. Just so not to go below freezing.
This isn't much help to you but I thought I'd share my experience since it just happened and I found your question. I guess what I'm trying to say if it tastes a little weird, beware. The stomach ache felt like my insides were turning over.
No they cannot. But if you try it it may work. It depends on the soil you plant it in. Mostly fertile soil with watering twice a day should work. And suck all the plump purple off before you plant the seeds.
Pomegranate is a very popular fruit that is also incredibly nutritious. This fruit is a super fruit because of many reasons:
The pomegranate tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe. The fruit was used in many ways as it is today and was featured in Egyptian mythology and art, praised in the Old Testament of the Bible and in the Babylonian Talmud, and it was carried by desert caravans for the sake of its thirst-quenching juice. It traveled to central and southern India from Iran about the first century A.D. and was reported growing in Indonesia in 1416. It has been widely cultivated throughout India and drier parts of southeast Asia, Malaya, the East Indies and tropical Africa. The most important growing regions are Egypt, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, India, Burma and Saudi Arabia. There are some commercial orchards in Israel on the coastal plain and in the Jordan Valley. It is rather commonly planted and has become naturalized in Bermuda where it was first recorded in 1621, but only occasionally seen in the Bahamas, West Indies and warm areas of South and Central America. Many people grow it at cool altitudes in the interior of Honduras. In Mexico it is frequently planted, and it is sometimes found in gardens in Hawaii. The tree was introduced in California by Spanish settlers in 1769. It is grown for its fruit mostly in the dry zones of that state and Arizona. In California, commercial pomegranate cultivation is concentrated in Tulare, Fresno and Kern counties, with small plantings in Imperial and Riverside counties. There were 2,000 acres (810 ha) of hearing trees in these areas in the 1920's. Production declined from lack of demand in the 1930's but new plantings were made when demand increased in the 1960's.
is a watermelon a dicot.
You need to look at the embryo inside the seed, if there are two cotyledons, it is dicot. the cotyledons are the small leaves that first emerge, like when a watermelon seedling sprouts, it has two leaves or cotyledons.
A monocot only has one.
Another way to distinguish is that monocots have parallel veins in the leaf and dicots have more branched patters. There are other distinguishing differences but these two should allow you to identify which one it is.
all you do is put jumper cables to the water melon and your car and it will explode! ( the water melon)
The pomegranate is in season September to February (Northern Hemisphere) or March to May (Southern Hemisphere) depending on where you are located. The Pomegranate fruit is grown on a tree that grows to a height of 16-26 feet high!
