i found Pomegranates to be most disappointing when eating them at home.. I love the juice and they are a very good source of anti-oxidants, but each fruit bears little juice when sucking it from the seed....

Are you nuts? You eat the tiny pods, juice and seeds. We go through at least two or three a day. I always try to keep a big bowl ready when my brother is around.

So what. There are plenty of orange trees out here in California as well as loads of orange trees in Florida. Can you tell us where your fellow Iranian Muslims are traveling to help other people? Maybe they are in the Amazon helping the people grow pistachios??

All you are showing us, Penelope, that you would have made an excellent guard in a Nazi concentration camp. I am sure Ilsa Koch (the Bitch of Buchenwald) would have enjoyed your company immensely. This is why, folks, Mein Kampf is one of the best sellers in the Muslim world.

Meanwhile, I surely hope that if Maryam of Iran here ever needed something coming out of Israel which would help her with some medical condition that she quickly turn it down because she doesn't want to be accused of being a hypocrite.

Pomegranites are a kind of crop that INDIA NEEDS----
not only are the seeds used LOTS In Indian cookery---it has
been found that the skin----that abundant hard stuff in which the
seeds are embedded-------make a very EXCELLENT animal
feed for cattle (even those HOLY guys who provide milk and butter and all that NEEDED yoghurt for INDIAN KIDS)

That's good, I wonder what the pulp between the skin and seeds can be used for...Where I live it's black walnuts that are ready for harvest... The meat is used for eating and the shells are good for making dyes...
