pomegranates
Ruby-ariled spheres
Pomegranates is the plural of pomegranate, a round fruit with a tough reddish rind and compartments of juicy, ruby-colored seeds.
The seeds—technically arils—are eaten fresh, pressed for juice, or used in cooking.
The fruit appears widely in mythology and religious symbolism, representing fertility and abundance: The table was piled with figs and pomegranates.
