Pomegranates are a fantastic versatile fruit that are becoming increasingly popular with the Australian public. We are at the start of the Australian season which lasts from mid-Autumn to the end of Winter, and they can be grown pretty well anywhere in Australia.
Ways to use this versatile fruit
EAT AS A SNACK — just need a spoon.
TOP YOGURT — With berries out of season, pomegranates make a terrific topper.
STIR INTO GRAINS — Add pomegranate seeds to cooked rice, quinoa, farro, or other grains to add color and tang.
ADD TO FRUIT SALAD — Pomegranate seeds marry well with other fruits.
MAKE SALSA — for topping for grilled fish, chicken, or lamb chops.
SCATTER OVER HUMMUS — Pomegranate and hummus have Middle Eastern roots, so why not combine the two.
USE AS A GARNISH — Sprinkle over everything from cupcakes to custard to add a bit of interest.
MIX A Pretty in Pink Cocktail — A combination of sparkling wine, pomegranate juice, and a spoonful of pomegranate seeds that bobble in the bubbles makes for a festive cocktail.
