Ever eaten pomegranate?!


Question: I just did. Today. For the first time.
I loved it!
Have you ever eaten pomegranate, and if you did, how did you like it?
I think it appears in fairy-tales as the fruit of eternal youth - is that so? What story - Alladin?
It is also said to be the forbidden fruit of Eden. Pomegranate and not apple?

Yup, I love them! I know it appears in the story of how Hades kidnapped Persephone and took her to the Underworld. While there she refused to eat anything until Hades gave her a Pomegranate (or the seeds depending on the source) which she ate and because of it had to stay in the Underworld 9 months out of the year.

I have never eaten one as the actualy fruit, but I have had the juice before and you are right they are quite yummy and very good for you!

I did in the second grade in 1981.

It taste great in my opinion.
You can add it to desserts or Smoothies as well.

Just don't get any of the fruit's juice in your clothes. Taking out the stain is murder.

I love pomegranates and use them as a fruit and in cooking. Pomegranate molasses is an especially good ingredient used in Middle Eastern cooking.

They appear in Biblical stories and Greek mythology. They are also very good for you.

mm, i love pomegranates! i havent heard of it in stories like that, though, thats pretty interesting.

Yes! I love pomegranates. They tend to be expensive so i eat them as an occassional treat rather than all the time. They're messy, but delicious!

they are the best and really good for you....and also fun to eat

love them and good for you check the internet lots of information

According to Greek mythology, the reason we have winter is because Persephone ate four pomegranate seeds during her brief stay in the Underworld with Hades, resulting in four months of winter due to her mother Demeter's sorrow.......

I love them!!!!

Yes
It was good
Pretty too
The story of the four brothers
It's likely, the Bible says it was beautiful to look at.

yes I love them there are a lot of stories the juice was considered to be the nectar of the gods I love the juice I also love pomegranate vodka with pomegranate juice

Yes. Tasty, but a bit of a pain to deal with. Didn't really like them well enough to feel they were worth the effort. Supposed to be good for you, though.

My mom and I couldn't figure out how to eat it, so I stared at one for a few minutes.

yep, I used to eat them when I was in junior high school. They were absolutely delicious. I really have no desire to eat them now ..... a bit too messy. But its great that there are so many juices now that are pomegranate based.

I like them and fun to eat

Yes, I love them but they sure are messy!

Pomegranates are yummy. The pomegranate is the fruit that kept Psyche (I think) the bride of Hades for 6 months out of the year in mythology.

as a kid i use to pick them off neighbors trees in calif and eat them. they sure are messy! i hear the juice is really good for you = but expensive!

it wasn't Alladin.

I know that the pomengranate was the fruit Persephone (not Psyche) are while in Hades.

and they're tasty!

Never eaten, drink it. Is strong but is good. I love it!!!

No, but I've had it in my drink before. It's really good.
