Hiii Everyone,
Here somthing about healthy promogranate.
Healthy Promogranate
Pomegranate
is native to a region from Iran to northern India. Pomegranates have been
cultivated throughout the Middle East, South Asia, and Mediterranean region for
several millennia, and also thrive in the drier climates of California and
Arizona. Carbonized exocarp of the fruit has been identified in early Bronze
Age levels of Jericho in the West Bank, as well as late Bronze Age levels of
Hala Sultan Tekke on Cyprus and Tiryns .
A large, dry pomegranate was found in the tomb of Djehuty, the butler of
Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt; Mesopotamian cuneiform records mention pomegranates
from the mid third millennium BC onwards. It is also extensively grown in South
China and in Southeast Asia, whether originally spread along the route of the
Silk Road or brought by sea traders. Kandahar is famous in Afghanistan for its
high-quality pomegranates. Although not native to Korea or Japan, the
pomegranate is widely grown there and many cultivars have been developed. It is
widely used for bonsai because of its flowers and for the unusual twisted bark
the older specimens can attain.
The term "balaustine" is also used
for a pomegranate-red color. After the
pomegranate is opened by scoring it with a knife and breaking it open, the
seeds are separated from the peel and internal white pulp membranes. Separating
the seeds is easier in a bowl of water because the seeds sink and the inedible
pulp floats. Freezing the entire fruit also makes it easier to separate.
Another effective way of quickly harvesting the seeds is to cut the pomegranate
in half, score each half of the exterior rind four to six times, hold the
pomegranate half over a bowl, and smack the rind with a large spoon. The seeds
should eject from the pomegranate directly into the bowl, leaving only a dozen
or more deeply embedded seeds to remove. The entire seed is consumed raw,
though the watery, tasty sarcotesta is the desired part. The taste differs
depending on the variety or cultivar of pomegranate and its ripeness. The
pomegranate also evoked the presence of the Aegean Triple Goddess who evolved into
the Olympian Hera, who is sometimes represented offering the pomegranate, as in
the Polykleitos' cult image of the Argive Heraion. According to Carl A. P. Ruck
and Danny Staples, the chambered pomegranate is also a surrogate for the
poppy's narcotic capsule, with its comparable shape and chambered interior. On
a Mycenaean seal illustrated in Joseph Campbell's Occidental Mythology 1964,
figure 19, the seated Goddess of the double-headed axe offers three poppy pods in her right hand and
supports her breast with her left. She embodies both aspects of the dual
goddess, life-giving and death-dealing at once.

The Titan Orion was represented
as "marrying" Side, a name that in Boeotia means
"pomegranate", thus consecrating the primal hunter to the Goddess.
Other Greek dialects call the pomegranate rhoa; its possible connection with
the name of the earth goddess Rhea, inexplicable in Greek, proved suggestive
for the mythographer Karl Kerenyi, who suggested the consonance might
ultimately derive from a deeper, pre-Indo-European language layer. The
pomegranate is one of the main fruits in Armenian culture .
Its juice is famous
with Armenians in food and heritage. The pomegranate is the symbol of Armenia
and represents fertility, abundance and marriage. For example, the fruit played
an integral role in a wedding custom widely practiced in ancient Armenia: a
bride was given a pomegranate fruit, which she threw against a wall, breaking
it into pieces. Scattered pomegranate seeds ensured the bride future children.
In Karabakh, it was customary to put fruits next to the bridal couple during
the first night of marriage, among them the pomegranate, which was said to
ensure happiness. It is likely that newlyweds also enjoyed pomegranate wine.
The symbolism of the pomegranate is that it protected a woman from infertility
and protected a man's virility. Both homemade and commercial wine is made from
pomegranate in Armenia. The Color of Pomegranates is a movie directed by Sergei
Parajanov. It is a biography of the Armenian ashug Sayat Nova which attempts to
reveal the poet's life visually and poetically rather than literally.
Great fruit....very loving....
