pomegranate seeds

Jeweled fruit innards

The edible seeds of the pomegranate fruit, each encased in a jewel-like sac of ruby-red pulp called an aril.

They have a sweet-tart flavor and satisfying crunch, used in salads, grain dishes, and as garnish: She scattered pomegranate seeds over the yogurt.

Often sold pre-packaged to spare buyers the labor of extracting them from the fruit's honeycomb interior.
