Pomegranate - a good fruit!

I like this red fruit very much. The ‘looks’ of this fruit is ‘healthy’. Reddish, pearl like, not too sweet but tastes good. I like the dark red variety. There is a pale yellow variety also in the Supermarket but the dark reddish ones seem to be better….well it is my own opinion. After peeling of the outer thick covering we can see the red fruit inside. These are called "arils" which are situated along white layer like septae. Fresh juice can also be made using these arils. Remove the whitish bud like things from the red arils.
