Ok, we admit. One of the pomegranate benefits that we like best is its taste. One thing that you will want to try out, perhaps at your Super Bowl party, is a pomegranate kir royal (royale). Just because it is a guys game and night, doesn’t mean you can spice it up with nice tasty and classy drinks. Go out and purchase a decent bottle of sparkling wine. This would actually be what is known as a Kir Petillant. Anyway, try adding some pomegranate seeds as well as some pomegranate liqueur to your glass for a nice twist on the Kir drink and an alternative to beer on Sunday.

Pomegranates are only available as a fresh fruit in the United States, from places like California, September through January. A fresh pomegranate is a scrumptious nugget of food heaven that can play an integral role in your food. Despite its recent popularity, few people realize that the pomegranate is not as exotic as you might think. What makes the pomegranate pop is the inner red arils that contain tart and sweet flavor bursts. Really, you can complement both your sweet and savory dishes with the pomegranate. We think that Spanish religious missionaries imported the fruit to California in the colonial period. The strongest area of pomegranate production is the San Jaoquin Valley.
