Pink Pomegranate
Comments(13) 
Cruising the farmer’s market this week, I spied a cluster of brilliant, light pink jewels glistening in the sunlight. They were pink pomegranate seeds!
Not only pink but they’re also sweet with a bit of a fruit punch flavor. And nowhere nearly as tart as the familiar deep red pomegranates. I had no idea there was even different varieties of pomegranates available.
Once home, I pulled on gloves and my oldest, grubbiest t-shirt to peel the pomegranates only to find I didn’t need to – it’s non-staining! As an added bonus, they’re also easier to peel.
So good and refreshing, I just ate the seeds as is and didn’t have any leftover for a salad. Now I have to wait until the end of the week to get more. If you see it, give it a try. Pomegranates are pretty tasty in pink.
Who knew?!
Wow, they are beautiful and sound delicious!
Thanks for the info!
oooh. Those seeds are gorgeous and would be perfect decoration for a salad or any dessert.
Crazy, I didn’t know they came in any color but red! Amazing!
Oh wow – I haven’t seen this variety before and I love poms!
This is so funny. I picked up pomegranate at the market this week and was so disappointed when I opened it because it was pink and it didn’t seem to be ripe — it was weak in flavor. It looks like I picked up a pink pomegranate!
Thanks for the info.
love how they look like little pink gems!
Beautiful color, I only thought there was one type. My grandparents had a pomegrantate tree in their yard so growing up my siblings and I had at it! We just sat outside on the porch and opened them up.
For a less mess, you can fill up a big bowl of water and open up to release the seeds in that.
I didn’t know they come in pink either! And it’s interesting that they taste like fruit punch. I definitely want to try it. I’ll have to be on the lookout next time I go to my farmer’s market.
never seen a pink grapefruit either! lucky you :)
what a great photo. So pretty!
Now this is something I’ve never seen, or even heard of before! So beautiful… And I’m really liking the idea of a sweeter pomegranate!
I did not know that there were red until i went to the states and saw these bright red insides and that was 2 years back. This is the variety that grows in the Caribbean.People do not really eat them that much
