I’m going to try to make pomegranates a part of my favorite squash soup and use pomegranate juice to make BBQ sauce!
That sounds interesting, would love to hear how it works out!
I was always told you aren’t supposed to eat the whole aril because of the pit inside, that you’re supposed to just suck out the juice. Is this true or should you eat the whole aril?
Karen,
I always eat the whole aril and I know all of our juice and the research that has been done on it is based on squeezing whole pomegranates (everything) to get that juice. I’ve heard that the seed inside the aril has nutritional value but I’m not exactly sure what that is, I just know it’s not a a bad thing. Eat away!
i just thought of the perfect recipe!! i submitted a pom and grand marnier flan and it seems to be doing great, but I had a wonderful fall breakfast idea. will play with it tomorrow and blog about it! think coconut!!! so kind of giving it an island-y twist!
Karen: the flan I made was using juice from the entire aril, including the seed/pit inside. I simply strained it before adding the juice to my custard mixture. Worked out well!
