Pomegranate, succulent grains
Sweet, juicy, seductive. Ruby pomegranates brighten up the autumn and their vitamins give us the energy to face the cold season.
Pomegranates have always been considered a symbol of fertility. We’re struck by its beauty: it looks like a big yellow-red berry, its stalk seems a crown and, inside, it has those fleshy, irresistible, red and translucent grains.

This pleasantly sour fruit is generally eaten raw, but it can also be an ingredient of many main courses based on meat. In Eastern countries, raw pomegranates are flavoured with rose water. The fruits are gathered when they’re ripe, so, when the peel is yellow-earth and the flesh ruby red. When gathered too early pomegranates are not edible, because once you gather them, they don’t ripen.

The mad rush to fake food, like fake meat made with genetically-modified soy, ignores the importance of the diversity of our foods and culinary cultures. It’s a recipe to accelerate the destruction of the Planet and our health.
