The Pomegranate
Most people have a favorite fruit they enjoy to eat from time to time. I love bananas, and oranges, but my favorite is a little something more exotic... It’s the Pomegranate. My Dad used to bring us Pomegranates as a rare treat when I was younger. My Mom would put the seeds into a bowl and sprinkle sugar on top. The origins of this delicious colorful fruit date back to ancient middle east. The Pomegranate thrives in dry and arid climates and is frost resistant. This fruit is grown all around the worlds due to the fact that it is very resilient and can pretty much grow anywhere. Its the perfect fruit! The pomegranate is a very unique and beautiful fruit. Its rich colored skin eludes to the dark and extremely rich juices that lie within. It is between the size of an apple and a grapefruit. An average Pomegranate weighs around one pound. The outer shell that encases the seeds is harder than a banana peel and has a leather like feel to it. The color can range from a bright blood red to a light pink to even light brown, Some can even be so dark red that they appear black. One can tell that a Pomegranates is ripe enough to eat when the outer skin starts to show small blemishes of brown and dark red. The juicy seeds within are encased in a creamy colored shelter that resembles the inside of an orange. The seeds are the heart and soul of this fruit. If one were to pluck a Pomegranate off the small tree and immediately bite into the leathery ridged exterior, you would be greeted with an unpleasant taste. It is both gritty in texture and extremely bitter. It takes finesse and skill to cut open the fruit to expose the web of seeds inside. The ideal way to cut open a pomegranate is to begin by slicing off the bottom, then core a one inch circle from the top. Then, one should cut along the protruding ridges one millimeter deep, depending on how thick the skin is. You should then be able to pull apart the pomegranate from your incision at the top of
