Pomegranates are curious fruits - apple-sized, red in color, and containing hundreds of pitch-red juicy seeds. Bitter-sweet in taste, depending on ripeness, puts these delightful transparent fragilities in-between grapefruits and red grapes.
What has nature blessed us with - the pomegranate is a very unstructured structured fruit. It contains multiple compartments, each tightly packing seeds around a sponge-like center, in some more or less random formation.
Sources are in disagreement about how many seeds a pomegranate holds. Some sources fix the number to exactly 613, some allow for an error of +/- 200, yet others believe that all pomegranates have the exact same number of seeds. It is certainly possible to disprove the first and third of these.
Then how many seeds are in a typical pomegranate? Here we keep track of a very small number of pomegranates, carefully disected and accounted for. This is an on-going experiments, and depending on mood and taste buds, the table will be filled with additional pomegranates.

Wasn't this in greek mythology? when a daughter of someone ate seeds of the pomegranite and the amount of seeds she ate was how long she was to stay in hell. That is why we have winter months when everything dies(her mother was "mother nature" and her mother is distraught over the fact that her daughter is in hell for these months so everything dies)

too many to count. they are so good. but some of them bust before you can even count.
and no two things are the same so not all pomegranites have the same amount of seeds
