IT’S AGAIN POMEGRANATE TIME!

In Sardinia the pomegranate fruit is often seen on party tables, as a symbol of abundance, fertility and prosperity. It is considered the king of fruits for his particular petiole shaped crown. Pomegranate plants are found in private gardens and orchards – they have a great ornamental effect, especially the specimens with twisted trunks and branches.

The fruit is of spherical shape with a shiny red skin. It tightly holds a multitude of red berries, which have a delicious sweet and slightly sour taste. The berries look very pretty – like small rubies – have fewer calories, great nutritional value and contain lots of healthy antioxidants and flavonoids.

The pomegranate can be used to make jams, drinks, liquor or in cosmetic products. I personally eat them raw, enjoying slowly each and every one of the berries. How do you prefer them?
