Pomegranate
- One of the most beautiful fruits out there!
- It is traditional in Greece to break a pomegranate on the ground at weddings and on New Years.
- Apparently the pomegranate has 613 seeds.
- I like the marvelous pomegranate seeds in a Pear and Blue Cheese Salad.
My mother would treat us to these when we were children. Sadly, I did not see them in stores on a regular basis until recently, so I never bought them for my children. I still remember the red fingers I had after eating them.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome picture. I would really never think fruit could be so pretty, but it is. Why do they break one on the ground at a wedding? What's the reason/tradition of it?

ReplyDeleteOne of the most difficult fruits to eat, but well worth the trouble :-)
ReplyDeleteGreek weddings sound so fun- first breaking plates, and now I find out they break pomegranates!
ReplyDeleteI love pomegranates! So juicy and red! The seeds are the best!
