With their glossy, leathery skin containing hundreds of seeds that sparkle in bright pinkish-red pulp and juice, there's something very festive about pomegranates.

Their attractive appearance and fragrant sweet-sharp juice adds excitement to both sweet and savoury dishes.

Only the seeds, sweet-tart and crunchy are edible. To extract the seeds, cut in half and spoon them out. 

Squeeze for ruby red juice.
