What is an acceptable way to eat a pomegranate when dining with other people?

I just LOVE pomegranates! When I'm alone I cut them in quarters and bite into them and savor all the juice and then spit out the pulp. But with other people present, especially strangers, what is the proper etiquette for eating pomegranates? Maybe you just can't?

Reply:i would advise you to not do this with strangers. they might think that you're strange so why eat one and remove all doubt from their mind.
Reply:With your fingers for peeling and picking up the seed and your mouth for eating.
Reply:Depends who the other people are.





With you fingers is OK by me.

Is it possible for pomegranate trees to be grown on the Cumberland Plateau in Southern TN?

Yes, but for the fruit to be a success you need a warm arid climate. With the drought you guys had last year it would do well. However, 12 'F is as cold without damage. This could be an issue for you. Pot it to size or permanent location. Good luck. My wife loves them.

Has anyone tried pomegranate?

I've had it at a friend's house once before, and it was really good. What about you guys?

Has anyone tried pomegranate?
I love the fruit, not a fan so much of the juice they are selling these days--too strong. But eating it in the natural form or using the seeds on salads is yummy. But very messy and the juice stains everything.
Reply:Had one for the first time last year - really cool. I like taking the little pieces apart from the membranes. Don't like the seeds, I just squish it in my mouth.


Way tastier than the juice you buy!

the juice is good too! put about a tablespoon of it in a tall glass of water with ice and enjoy!!! gives the water a lovely tart flavor.

However it stains everything, so there are pro and cons to delicious food.

Can I grow a pomegranate tree in New York?

I have this strange obsession with pomegranates, and I was curious if I could actually grow such a tree/bush in my current area of occupation. The weather ranges from 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer to as low as 5 in the winter (but the average has been about 20 this year go figure) I also live close to the water. I was looking it up online and came to the conclusion that I could, but would most probably have to care for it indoors, but I was curious if anyone with a bit more knowledge on trees or bushes, could let me know if it would be possible to grow outside. Thanks in advanced for your time.

Can I grow a pomegranate tree in New York?
Well, I'd imagine indoor care would be necessary. I live in California, which has a "mediterranean" climate, like, umm, the mediterranean, where pomegranites come from. It snowed this year, and our pomegranite lost all it's leaves for the first time ever in about 15 years. The weather's been getting up to 95 or so now, but the thing hasn't gotten any new leaves yet.





The good news is that there are several varieties of dwarf pomegranite. Most are strictly decorative, and the fruit usually splits open before it's ripe, although mine has made a few great fruits.





Also good news for growing indoors is the fact that so long as you keep the temperature warm, they won't shed their leaves in fall,and it has taken my dwarf 15 years to get taller than me (and I've been trying to get it taller!)





The bad news is that if they don't shed in fall, their leaves will come off one by one throughout the year, and whatever you do, they tend to drop a whole lot of their flowers all summer long... and to a pomegranite tree, summer is pretty much any time when it has leaves growing.





They seem to take well to pruning, so keeping it small shouldn't be too hard. I knew a guy that had some done up as topiaries for several years. Also, the fruit tends to pull the branches down, so not picking them early can help it stay short.
Reply:you can do whatever you want, if you're in the right part on NY, whether it be upstate or in the city all you need is a greenhouse to do the job, right.

Feeding and tending pomegranate trees?

plants are both potted (dwarf) and planted out I would like to know how often to water them and any feed that would help both the trees and the yield.

Feeding and tending pomegranate trees?
Lovely little trees aren't they.


Not very fussy. Main thing is not to overwater and to keep up with their growth spurts. If they start to look sad pot up. They put an awful lot of roots on quite quickly sometimes.


As the flowers start to go and the fruit develops feed a little with a fertiliser high in phosphate. This will help with fruit set.


Place somewhere reasonably sheltered for the winter to protect it from becoming too wet.


Pruning is not necessary just to tidy.

Can you put a pomegranate through a juicer without pulling all the little pieces out of the skin?

What else can you do with pomegranates? Does anybody have recipes or ideas? I was given a whole bunch of them and don't know what to do with them.

Can you put a pomegranate through a juicer without pulling all the little pieces out of the skin?
I juice mine like on a citrus juicer, (you know the twist thingy) then strain out the seeds through a tiny metal strainer or cheese cloth..
Reply:yes you can. i suggest you juice them all and use the juice in any recipe that call for liquid, add alittle to a pot roast . it is simple delish,
Reply:No ! it will become bitter and you will lose all the yummy flavour. So you must take out the little pieces and then pass them through the juicer.





Pomergnate pieces can be sundried and preserved without any aid. These are called anardana in India - Anar(Pomerganate)+dana(kerenel)


These dried kerenel are an excellent spice for adding to gravies, fritters and it makes an excellent sauce (called chutney) together with fresh mint leaves, onion, garlic and ginger.





Dry them and keep them for as long as you want in the referegerator.





You can fnd many recipes of indian cookery if you search anardana+recipes
Reply:no you can't
Reply:They're good to eat if you slice them apart and pull out all the little red things. You might get tired of them, though. The little red juice sacs are interestingly good, in my opinion, when mixed with melted dark chocolate. I haven't tried any of these recipes, but you might try the ones I found on the web at http://www.pomwonderful.com/recipes.php . I understand that it is fine to eat the seeds, by the way, but not the dry white parts.
Reply:I wouldn't try putting the whole thing through the juicer. The arils or seeds are what you're supposed to eat and it can be time consuming and stain under your fingernails. I suggest using them as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving and giving one away per family member, sort of like a party favor! Nah, anway...just try to remove as much of the skin as possible or it will make the juice extra tart. Go to this website for loads of POM info www.pomwonderful.com

What is pomegranate-gastrique sauce (like one might have on duck)?

Gastrique is a French sauce made by a reduction of a sugar%26amp;vinegar-based syrup, usually flavored with some kind of fruit, especially citrus. I found the link below, which tells how to make a blackberry gastrique (from Epicurious.com)... the sauce you're asking about would simply substitute pomegranate and some sugar for the blackberry preserves. Happy eating!

How to make pomegranate wine jelly ?
(m)





Pomegranate Jelly


Ingredients


10 large pomegranates


1 (3 ounces) pouch liquid pectin or 1 box (1-3/4 or 2 ounces) dry pectin


2 Tbsp lemon juice


6 cups sugar








Instructions


To extract juice, cut crowns off pomegranates and score peel of each in several places. Immerse pomegranates, one at a time, in cool water in a large bowl; break into sections and separate seeds. Skim off floating peel and membrane; discard. Drain seeds.





In a 5 to 6-quart kettle on high heat, combine seeds and 1/2 c. water. Cover and cook until seeds are soft when pressed, about 10 minutes.





Set colander lined with cheesecloth in a bowl. Pour in seeds and liquid. Tie cloth closed. Wearing rubber gloves, squeeze bag to extract remaining juice. Measure; you need exactly 4 cups (if amount is short, add water).





If using liquid pectin, combine pomegranate juice, lemon juice and sugar in an 8 to 10-quart kettle; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add liquid pectin and bring to a boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil, stirring, for exactly 1 minute.





If using dry pectin, combine pomegranate juice, lemon juice and pectin. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar and bring to a boil that cannot be stirred down; boil, stirring, exactly 2 minutes.





Pour hot jelly to within 1/4-inch of rim of hot, sterilized, 1 or 2-cup canning jars. Wipe rims and put hot lids and rings in place. Set jars on a rack in a deep kettle; add boiling water to cover. Bring to simmering; simmer 10 minutes. Cool jars on a towel for 2 days.

Is frozen pomegranate juice just as effective in reducing cholesterol as bottled juice?

I think the bottle juice is better, but what I can tell you, grapefruit juice or fresh one can do also the JOB.

Is frozen pomegranate juice just as effective in reducing cholesterol as bottled juice?
It depends on the quality of the juice in each product. You can freeze juice without destroying its nutritional value. However, I would focus more on the brand. Visit an unbiased resource like NutritionalTree.com (which does not sell product). They rate different brands of pomegranate juice.
Reply:Fact is, you'd probably have to take lots of capsules of concentrated pomegranate juice extract to have any effect on cholesterol.





Frozen would be as good or better. At least a pint a day is recommended.





You might check this out on yourself if you want to go to the trouble and expense.





Get your doctor to measure your LDL cholesterol(the bad one.) Drink a pint of juice, or the recommended capsules, for a couple of months. Have your LDL rechecked. It should be down significantly if the juice did its job. Only valid if you don't change any of your eating or exercise pattern during the test period.





Good luck.

Reply:The tree originated somewhere near Iran, Georgia or central Asia. The juice is pink and makes grenadine syrup which is a tasty soft drink, and a useful ingredient for cocktails such as Singapore sling. You can buy pomegranates in supermarkets, but I've never seen any growing in temperate places like NZ or Britain.
Reply:The Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 5–8 m tall. The pomegranate is native to the region from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region and the Caucasus since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, India, the drier parts of southeast Asia, Peninsular Malaysia, the East Indies, and tropical Africa. Introduced into Latin America and California by Spanish settlers in 1769, pomegranate is now cultivated mainly in the drier parts of California and Arizona for its fruits exploited commercially as juice products gaining in popularity since 2001[1][2]. In the global functional food industry, pomegranate is included among a novel category of exotic plant sources called superfruits[3].
Reply:its purpleish red. its a very sweet fruit. to me it was a cross between a grape and a cherryishh thing. DELICIUOUS. you cut it open and all the seeds pour out. each sed had a sweet-juicy fruiting around it. people usually suck on them then spit out the seeds but others eat the seeds too.
