Take a hike, cranberries. There's a new tiny flavor bomb in town. Your services are no longer needed except for orange-cranberry muffins. Beyond being absolutely delicious, with a bright, tart berry flavor, pomegranate seeds (called 'arils') are stupidly healthful. Like, one of the world's true superfoods. Crammed with antioxidants and nutrients, it helps lower cholesterol. It helps lower blood pressure and risk of heart disease. It can turn a hamburger back into a cow. (That's not true.) Seemingly the only thing it can't do is be opened and the arils collected cleanly. Seriously, what a mess. (The word "grenade" comes from the 8th century Old French name for the fruit, pomme grenade. So much delicious shrapnel...) Each fruit has 600 or so arils in it, and enough staining power to ruin anything in a ten-foot radius. I found a solution that works great - submerge it. Get a big bowl, fill it with warm water (to keep your hands comfortable), and then cut and separate everything under water. Works like a charm. Once you've collected the seeds and tossed the rinds and pith, it's time to dig in. Top a smoky eggplant puree or lamb tagine. Mix them into lemon tapioca. Turn kale salad into something edible. Or, you could just shovel handfuls into your gaping maw like me & Max. Endless options for this magical fruit. #pomegranate #superfood #arilsnotseeds #fruitlover #healthful #eatdrinklearn...
