Thanks for the bump.

Just had my first pomegranate of the season -- fantastic.

$1.67 each at Food Lion, large but not huge, POM brand.
$3.49 at Harris Teeter, huge and almost perfectly round, POM brand.

[Edited on November 7, 2010 at 12:46 PM. Reason : I took that picture a few days ago. SO PURTY!!!]

11/7/2010 12:46:14 PM

Eating one right now.

SO GOOD.

11/7/2010 9:02:18 PM

all you do is rip one open and dump the seeds in a bowl. not much work at all and you don't have to wash them.

11/7/2010 10:29:08 PM

Got two from a small local grocer on Friday for $1 each. Broke them down today, and they are yum.

11/7/2010 10:32:29 PM

I bought a POM brand one from Food Lion today (same price as was quoted earlier).

About to crack her open.

I want to try this recipe:

Quote :

"Panfried Pork Chops with Pomegranate and Fennel Salsa 1 lb fennel bulb (sometimes called anise), stalks cut off and discarded 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 large pomegranate) 2 scallions, finely chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar 2 teaspoons honey 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 (1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick) pork chops Halve fennel bulb lengthwise and core it, then cut into 1/4-inch dice. Cook fennel in 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer fennel to a bowl and stir in pomegranate seeds, scallions, cilantro, vinegar, honey, and salt. Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chops until deep golden and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer chops to plates and let stand, loosely covered, 5 minutes. Serve chops topped with salsa. "

they are the most boring and overrated fruit

11/8/2010 10:28:29 AM

<3 pomegranates

11/8/2010 10:41:59 AM

they stain everything, dammit

11/11/2010 2:24:08 AM

i got pomegranate juice all over myself, my wiimote, and the coffee table while trying to eat a pomegranate and play the new Bond and drink a beer all at once.

11/11/2010 5:56:49 PM

They were 2/$6 at Harris Teeter last night and didn't look like the usual exceptional pomegranates they have. Not sure what the deal is...

11/21/2010 9:30:54 AM

My best friend's parents have a pomegranate tree in their yard, so I just got the hookup with four of them. Yum!

11/21/2010 2:43:58 PM

ate some pomegranate today. joie did all the work though.

11/21/2010 2:46:12 PM

picked up 3 at the market today for $1.50ea. i'm about to break into one, will report back with results.

12/11/2010 8:44:55 PM

sam's has POM brand pomegranates already dismantled/peeled/shucked/??? for $7. there's 2 containers with a LOT of arils...but they looked pretty old & some were rotten. maybe your sam's has fresher ones.

12/12/2010 8:57:22 AM

I saw some for $1.50 at Target a few days ago...didn't grab some then but need to get a few next time I'm there.

12/12/2010 12:35:49 PM

this thread inspired me to try a pomegranate...and now it's one of my favorite fruits. thanks tww!

12/12/2010 2:07:32 PM

Glad to hear it!

me thinks that Joie is a keeper because I almost NEVER share when I do all the work.

12/12/2010 6:44:01 PM

WTH....There's a 6 page thread on Pomegranates that I don't remember. I'ma go chug some POM WONDERFUL or whatever that junk is.

12/12/2010 10:47:22 PM

MMM pomegranates. When do these things get out of season?

12/12/2010 11:15:40 PM

i fucking LOVE pomegranate juice and gingerale. yum!

12/12/2010 11:21:12 PM

I don't understand the fascination with these things.

Tastes like bitter shit.

12/13/2010 2:14:25 AM

^ Weak ass baby.

(and what kind of poms are you getting that the very slight bitter taste overpowers the vastly stronger sweetness???)

12/13/2010 4:17:48 AM

I don't know if I have ever heard a Pom described as "bitter"

Poms are ridiculously sweet. And ridiculously delicious.

12/13/2010 10:12:04 AM

Anybody have experience growing pomegrantes? My parents have three trees but they never fruit, just flower. They've tried hand pollinating and planting other flowers to attract bees, but nothing seems to work. I told my parents I think they just need to trim the hell out of the trees so that there's only a few flowering branches but so far they haven't taken my advice

12/13/2010 10:21:09 AM

Had a delicious one this past Sunday. The gf did all the work though, and it looked extremely cumbersome. I like them, but will only eat them if someone else does the work.

12/13/2010 10:27:57 AM

bttt

11/5/2012 7:46:08 AM

Gracias...

I'd like to thank TWW for obsessing over these things... I mocked the obsession in the past, but I have been converted. I've gone through 6 over the past week and a half (well, consumed 3, removed the seeds of 3 more last night)

11/5/2012 8:34:38 AM

worth the effort

11/5/2012 3:26:48 PM

yay for anti oxidants!

11/5/2012 3:47:50 PM

making pomegranate ice cream with splenda science class style

11/5/2012 9:22:10 PM

lol @ smath's trolling attempts itt

11/5/2012 9:34:26 PM

yeah they were several years ago and i honestly didn't "get" the pomegranate obsession.

11/5/2012 9:44:34 PM

God damn how come no one else ever discovered this method???

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ7dk9nDR-k

Very easy and unmessy... I feel like I can eat one a day now!

Anybody seen that method or tried it?

11/7/2013 4:57:50 PM

I use the water method.

11/8/2013 7:24:18 AM

^^ whaaaaaaat? I had no idea it could be that easy.

11/8/2013 7:45:53 AM

^^^ I know what I'm eating this weekend.
