I've just been "shelling" (is that the right word?) pomegranates. Well, one in particular, a whopping 500gram-er. DEEP blood red juice when I cut it in half. Then I went to break it into smaller bits and arils shot every which way, all over the counter and kitchen floor. Finding them all took ages, while the cutting board and counter were reddening quickly.

I changed my top, put a towel on the floor (I should have put 2 down) and went back to work. The trick is to face the arils DOWN as you tear them open, but even that is not foolproof.

Still, a container full of arils is now in the fridge, with 3 more pomegranates to go.

Maybe making juice from this lot would be a good idea.

The ferocity with which my #Pomegranate and #Lime trees are pushing out fruit is mesmerizing. I used to spread coffee grinds and that seems to have made a big difference. Zone 9B NorCal.

Behold! The fruit of the pomegranate 😄

200g of pomegranate arils. Medium pomegranates sell for around $6 atm, and this one was LARGE. (Pic in thread.) Even more 💰 for "seeded" pomegranates.

The taste of this one? Sweet, with a tang. It would have probably benefited from more time on the tree, but it is my first ever pomegranate so am still learning how to judge the ripeness.

Still, it is very nice and I am making a week's worth of chia puddings to go with the pomegranate.

There are lots of things to make with pomegranates, and I'll be making some throughout the pomegranate season. Particularly Middle Eastern dishes.

Our pomegranate trees are blooming. Odds are pretty slim that they'll be ready for picking before the animals get at them.
