pomegranate
Ruby-seeded orb
A pomegranate is a round fruit with a tough reddish skin containing hundreds of edible seeds, each encased in juicy red flesh.
The seeds cluster in compartments separated by bitter white membrane.
Native to the Middle East, pomegranates appear in ancient mythology and religious texts.
The fruit is eaten fresh, juiced, or used in cooking: pomegranate molasses, pomegranate seeds scattered over a salad.
