Pomegranates please

This yummy treat has been popping up in just about everything for the past year or so. Stores are carrying the fruit in bulk, so take advantage of its availability and take one home. The seeds of the pomegranate are what you eat, and you can get them easiest by cutting one in half and knocking the back hard so the seeds fall out and into a dish. Pomegranate is best as an accessory, like in a salad, or sprinkled over the top of hummus. To enjoy the flavor year-round, try pomegranate balsamic vinegar and prepare to be smitten. Plus, as an added bonus, researchers say pomegranates may have even more antioxidant power than cranberry juice or green tea.
