The pomegranate has a leathery skin and inside there are seeds covered with pulp. These are divided by light-colored membranes and taste sour-sweet and somewhat tart. The pips are the only part of the pomegranate that you can eat. The separating membranes taste too bitter for that. In addition, you can also squeeze the fruit like orange and drink the juice.
Pomegranate seeds are rich in antioxidants and are said to have anti-inflammatory effects. They taste a bit like currants and go well not only with fruit salads but also with leaf salads, game, poultry, and other meat dishes as well as with desserts, cakes, jellies, and chutneys.
