Pomegranate is one of those “difficult” fruits. Whilst I enjoy the taste, I don’t have the enthusiasm to, sit their for 1/2 hour getting the seeds out just so my children can steal them all from me. Maybe next time I am home alone I shall indulge in my very own Pomegranate.

Pomegranates have been cultivated since ancient times, and science has found surprising benefits for this amazing fruit. Research shows that the seeds may slow aging, halt the spread of cancer and improve heart health. What’s more, this tasty treat is low in calories (only around 105 for an average-sized fruit) in addition to being loaded with nutrients. High in vitamin C and potassium, the bright red fruit also boasts high levels of antioxidants. And if you eat the seeds rather than drinking the tangy juice, you’ll have added fiber in your diet as well. Source: Yahoo Health

What’s difficult about pomegranates??
Use the tip of a knife to cut a small cone of pith out of the blossom end, score the skin from the cut edge down ~ an inch in a couple of places, grasp with your thumbs in the “cone”, and pull apart. Then do the same to each half, then break each quarter in half horizontally. Takes maybe 5 minutes. Do it over a bowl or the sink….
This is a great idea! I think I will have to try to make these..maybe even as a Christmas gift!
