Mystical Granada born under the shelter of the Himalayas, and from mouth to mouth and hand to hand his favors were distributed from India to encircle the Mediterranean. For us Americans, we owe some of our parents that their hearts could not dislodge them and that the loaded their long voyages across the Atlantic with him. As the Spanish in 1700, the first to love the new continent with its curious fleshy seed coverage and whose juices stain our clothes as blood.

Today grenades have joined the troop of fruits that give us nutrients with antioxidant properties due to its content of anthocyanins, ellagic acid and tannins. Pomegranates have a high content of vitamin C. Pomegranates have a molecule known as punicalagin believed may have a beneficial impact on the intestinal flora. Of this delicious fruit I share three recipes, which is amazing even in its natural state, a dessert ready requiring only to be cut from the tree:

    It is very important to be aware of the nutritional value of this fruit, specially its antioxidant effect because that property is really important for our health.
    Thank you for sharing with us some recipes that, I’m sure, will “improve” our meals, not only in the USA, but also around the world.

    What a wonderful fruit, the legends around it date back to Greek mythology when Persefone was taken to the underworld by Hades and as she finally was able to go when her mother negotiated that she would spend half the year there and half the year in the underworld, she took a few pomegrate grains. It´s interesting to understand that they transformed her so she could become the queen of the underworld.
    The recipes shared here sound absolutely delicious, and so varied. It would be very fun to make a Granada Feast! Here in Mexico we use it in one of our most traditional dishes, Chile Relleno, a patriotic meal that includes the 3 colors of our flag, green withe the chili, white the nut sauce and red pomegrate sprinkled on top

    In the UK we call this fruit ?pomegranate? and it?s one of my absolute favourites! My partner and I usually put it on salads or in Cous Cous as part of a Moroccan/Mediterranean meal. It?s also great to eat on its own; you can pick a whole load of them and then store the seeds in the fridge. I often put a little pot of it in my son?s lunchbox for school or sit with a bowl on my desk while I work.

    I just got a pomegranite!! Every week I pick up a box of organic produce that is distributed to participants in the group. We live on a small island off the southeast coast of Alaska, so we don’t get good pomegranites very often. Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas, I think for this one, however, I’m just going to enjoy the simple goodness of the fruit.
