TEMPTING YOUR TASTEBUDS!
When choosing your perfect pomegranate, look at the skin. It should be thin, tough, and unbroken, indicating the flavor is well developed. The pithy membrane around the seeds should not be too prominent, and the seed-coats tender and edible. Also, for the fullest of flavor, the seeds should have an abundance of juice.
What can you do with these tantalizing seeds? Pop them into your mouth and enjoy, of coursebut when you’re looking for variety: Try sprinkling over salads, fruit desserts, cakes or puddings or use in marinades, glazes and for garnish. Top waffles, oatmeal, pancakes, cereal, or sundaes.
FYI: One medium size pomegranate will yield about 3/4 cup of seeds or 1/2 cup of juice.No Need for a Spit Take!
NO NEED FOR A SPIT TAKE
Many of our California Wonderful Pomegranate fans have asked the age old question: Do you eat the seed inside or spit it out after enjoying the juice? Well, the truth of the matter is, it’s a personal choice. But keep in mind that most of the fiber you get from eating pomegranates comes from that little seed. So to keep up with a healthy dose of daily fiber, crunch on!
