Yeah, yeah, I know….not local, not organic, but these things are a veritable treasure trove of vitamins (B5, C mostly and PACKED with anti-oxidants) and the kids LOVE them. It’s kind of a pain to peel them and remove the seeds, but they are so beautiful that I don’t mind – they look like little, juicy rubies. Mmmmm…
I’ve read about sprinkling them over dishes as a garnish, but haven’t ever done it, myself. I would imagine that they would be pretty fabulous in a very simple (and lightly dressed) salad. Dropping a few of them into the bottom of a glass of champagne is lovely and there are trillions of pomegranate cocktail recipes online. Get ’em while you can – pomegranate season is already waning.
