19. My dear Peggy, if you have never eaten pomegranate arils (the red seeds)

Sep 2023

you are in for a treat. They are delicious, loaded with Vit C, and make spectacular addition to salads, and many other dishes. I add them to my raw cranberry salsa, and to my steel cut oatmeal when serving, and pomegranate juice is tart and wonderful. Many stores now carry the arils (seeding a pom is messy work!).

In metaphysics and mythology, the pom has many meanings. Feminine energy, new llife, rebirth, good fortune, seeking hidden meanings, and so on.. Persephone ate 4 seeds, and was forced to spend 4 months every year at Hade's side as Queen of the Underworld. www.eluneblue.com and other sites have very interesting information on the metaphysical aspects of poms.

And there are lots of recipes for this beautiful wonder. Enjoy!
