Finally finished my first pomegranite last night.
Very intimidating fruit. I've avoided it for years because I didn't
know how to eat it, but after reading about Martha Stewart eating one
after a rough day, I decided to give it a try. Not bad.

I've been wondering about the carb count on those. i used to eat them all
the time when I was a kid - we called them Chinese Apples. Made an awful
mess of ourselves with them too - red everywhere!!

The only way I've ever had one is to use its juice, combined with melted
butter, to baste a Thanksgiving turkey. Heavenly.

When I was a kid when my birthday(Oct 15th) rolled around I knew it
was pomegranite time. My Dad used to ask me what I wanted for my
birthday and I would reply "Pomegranites" LOL I painstakingly emptied
every little red kernel from their tight home and put them in a bowl
and ate them with a spoon!!!
I loved them!!

Okay, please spill the beans. How did you eat it or how did
she eat it without getting red dye all over the place? Whole
fruit is often low enough carb to be fine for anyone over
maybe 40+ grams daily.

"Pom" is a new brand of juice made from pomegranite and other
fruits. Delicious but too carby for me to purchase it more
than every few months. At least I know it can be put into a
dark red dyed machine and have the juice squeezed out of it.

I LOVE pomegranates! Loved them ever since I first tried them as a child.
Great fall/winter memory!

It would take me at least 2 days to eat one. I would either cut it in half
and pick out the seeds, or try to break it so as to leave as many of the
seeds intact. You get a workout just from eating them. LOL!

Martha Stewart evidently ate her pomegranite late one evening, one
seed at a time. It took her 45 minutes to finish it and she said it
was delicious and completely relaxed her from a very trying day at
court.

I cut mine in half vertically - big mistake, then went online and
found a suggested method that worked much better. You weaken the
outer skin with a tiny slit, just thru the tough outer skin and then
gently rip the whole thing apart into sections. The seed sacks will
then be easily accessible to eat either individually as Martha did or
crudely stuff a bunch of them in your pie-hole at a time.
Next, you either spit out the hard seeds, or some hardy souls will
choose to swallow them. I chewed up a couple of seeds and decided
that wasn't good so spit the rest of the seeds out after devouring
the nectar.

Haven't had one in a million years, but aren't they sickeningly sweet?

They've probably got a high fiber content too. My mouth just got all
watery thinking about them! I'm heading out as soon as the store opens
to get one. I can still hear my mother yelling at me over the stains
on my clothes...LOL

Grenadine is the pomegranite syrup used in tequila sunrise.
It is indeed sickeningly sweet, but it is a syrup. Blueberry
syrup might be considered sickeningly sweet by folks who like
fresh blueberries straight.

The pomegranite fruit itself is about the same level of sweet
as a peach.
