yeah, pomegranates are a pain in the ass to prepare, but they are SO worth it. I usually takem them apart when I'm doing something that doesn't involve moving very much, like kicking back and listening to music or talking to a friend, or watching a long movie. It has taken me the screen time of a full length hour 45 minute movie to take apart 1 large pomegranate, but it was worth it in the end.

Sardines are really good, honestly! Forget the canned ones, fresh ones on the barbecue are brilliant – had them in Portugal last summer and they were fab

Pumpkin seeds are good too! You can buy them roasted, or roasted and spiced, at the grocery store. They have a taste sort of in between dried soy nuts and peanuts.

Frozen blueberries are actually really good. I don’t know why exactly, but I just love them frozen.

Canned pumpkin is also awesome. I put it in everything (baked goods, oatmeal, pastas….the possibilities are endless).

Pomegranates are very good for you because they’re high in antioxidants which keep you looking younger. They taste really good too.

The juice is sort of expensive, but it’s not the type of thing that you down a 12oz glass of. I like to put 1oz (a shot) of pomegranate juice in my iced tea or lemonade. It’s also really good with Sprite, and anything else you can thing of really.

Eating the fruit is a chore, like someone said above. See in the picture the little seeds? Those are the parts that you actually eat; you don’t eat the rest of it. The reason the juice is expensive is because the juice only comes from around those little seeds…so you can imagine what kind of chore it could be to make the juice.

In fact, I just got some Haagen Dasz Pomegranate Chip ice cream at the supermarket. It’s really good.

I don't remember my life before Pom. Haha.

I think I'm going to go look for that ice cream RIGHT NOW.

I also want to try some pomegranate wine soon…

I try to drink Pom juice whenever it's not threatening to take $8 out of my wallet.

Pomegranate ice cream... now that's something I could get behind. But seriously, guys, thanks for the pomegranate words of wisdom. Maybe I will try some juice (or seeds) after all.

I personally dont like just straight up drinking pomengranate juice, but I think they're DELISH to eat as a fruit. probably because its a lot less concentrate in the fruit or something. but still. They're a bit of a task to eat though…you need hands. and time. no multitasking. Still delish though!
