Round, leathery, reddish-yellow fruit of the pomegranate tree, a deciduous shrub or small tree native to southwestern Asia but cultivated widely in tropical and subtropical areas. The fruit contains a large number of seeds that can be eaten fresh or made into wine.
The seeds of the pomegranate fruit are sweet, juicy and bursting with flavor. Sprinkled in salads, in fruit salads, over ice cream and sorbet, the seeds add an interesting addition to any dish. The seeds are tasty eaten by themselves!
How to De-Seed a Pomegranate:
Eating a pomegranate can be a messy task. The juice can stain your clothes and even yor countertops!
Cut the crown end of the pomegranate and discard. The crown can be recognized by small crown-like top.
Score the rind of the pomegranate in several places, but be sure not to cut all the way through.
Soak the pomegranate in cold water, upside down for 5-10 minutes.
Break apart the rind of the pomegranate and remove seeds from membrane. The seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl.
With a sieve, remove rind and membranes from bowl.
Drain seeds with a collander. Pat dry with cloth or paper towel. Eat immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

The Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 5–8 m tall. The pomegranate is native to the region from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region and the Caucasus since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout Armenia, Iran, India, the drier parts of southeast Asia, Malaya, the East Indies, and tropical Africa. Introduced into Latin America and California by Spanish settlers in 1769, pomegranate is now cultivated mainly in the drier parts of California and Arizona for its fruits exploited commercially as juice products gaining in popularity since 2001 [9] [10]. In the global functional food industry, pomegranate is often mentioned among a novel category of exotic plant sources called "superfruits".............................................

Pomegranate
A small deciduous tree, Punica granatum, belonging to the plant order Myrtales. Pomegranate is grown as an ornamental as well as for its fruit. The pomegranate is a native of Asia. It was originally known for its medicinal qualities, and cures for various ills were attributed to the fruit juice, the rind, and the bark of the roots. The fruit is a reddish, pomelike berry, containing numerous seeds imbedded in crimson pulp, from which an acid, reddish juice may be obtained. Limited quantities are grown in California and the Gulf states.

A Pomegranate is a fruit, I think of Asian origin. It it usually orange coloured with a pinkish blush and the size of a large apple. Inside it has a white pith and many black seeds in individual pockets of a red jelly like substance, The pockets are similar in looks to a passionfruit. It tastes slightly tart. The fruit is used to make Grenadier which is used to make drinks.

it's a fruit, and supposedly it is a favorite fruit of the ancient gods. It looks somewhat like an apple but is a little bigger and has a different type of stem.
You scoop out the seeds and eat them. You do not eat the white parts or the skin.
Pomegranates are full of antioxidants and are very good for your health.

The seeds are full of sour liquid that squirt when you bite into them.
The neighborhood boys used to pick them off of the trees and smash them in the street when I was a kid. Leaves a big red stain....
