Nature's most labor-intensive fruit is about the size of a large orange and has a thin, leathery skin that can range in color from red to pink-blushed yellow. Inside are hundreds of seeds packed in compartments that are separated by bitter, cream-colored membranes. Each tiny, edible seed is surrounded by a translucent, brilliant-red pulp that has a sparkling sweet-tart flavor. Pomegranates are grown throughout Asia, the Mediterranean countries and in California. In the United States they're available in October and November. Choose those that are heavy for their size and have a bright, fresh color and blemish-free skin. Refrigerate for up to 2 months or store in a cool, dark place for up to a month. To use, cut the pomegranate in half and pry out the pulp-encased seeds, removing any of the light-colored membrane that may adhere. Pomegranates can be eaten as fruit, used as a garnish on sweet and savory dishes or pressed to extract the juice. They're rich in potassium and contain a fair amount of vitamin C.

Naturens mest arbetsintensiva frukt är ungefär samma storlek som en stor apelsin och har en tunn, läderartade huden som kan variera i färg från rött till rosa-rodnade gul. Inuti finns hundratals frön förpackade i utrymmen som avgränsas med bitter, GRÄDDGUL membran. Varje liten, ätliga utsäde är omgivet av en genomskinlig, lysande-röd massa som har en gnistrande sweet-tart smak. Granatäpplen är odlade i hela Asien, Medelhavsländerna och i Kalifornien. I USA är de tillgängliga i oktober och November. Välja de som är tung för sin storlek och har en ljus, fräsch färg och fläck-fri hud. Kylskåp i upp till 2 månader eller förvara i en sval, mörk plats för upp till en månad. Om du vill använda, halvera granatäpple och bända ut massa-inneslutna frön, ta bort någon av de ljusa membran som kan följa.
