]]> We’re big fans of eating seasonally, and fall brings no shortage of flavorful produce that we look forward to eating all year long. Beyond the basics like apples and pumpkin, one of our favorite autumnal fruits is pomegranate, which starts to ripen toward the end of September and reaches its peak by late November. The sweet, yet tart flavor and ruby red color of pomegranate seeds make for a perfect addition to all kinds of salads, drinks, and desserts. Here are a few of our go-to recipes.

Pomegranate Fall Harvest Salad

Add some color to your table with this vibrant fall salad by recipe developer Danilicious. Kale and quinoa serve as a hearty base for creamy goat cheese and butternut squash along with candied pecans for a touch of sweetness. Sprinkle with plenty of fresh pomegranate seeds, and whatever you do, don’t skip the pomegranate molasses vinaigrette.

Pomegranate Drizzle Bundt Cake

Pomegranates are native to the Middle East, and this recipe by chef Jamie Oliver does a fantastic job of paying homage to the fruit’s origins by pairing it with other ingredients from the region. The cake itself is light, yet satisfying thanks to the yogurt and tahini in the batter, while the fresh pomegranate rose water drizzle adds sweetness and tang.

Pomegranate Aperol Spritz

If there’s one thing we love more than a good old-fashioned cocktail (pun intended), it’s a good old-fashioned cocktail with a seasonal twist. Aperol Spritzes are traditionally made with just Aperol, Prosecco, and a splash of soda, but this version by Jessica from How Sweet Eats includes pomegranate juice and fresh arils for a subtle nod to the changing leaves. Add a slice of orange, and you’ve got foliage in a glass.

]]> Pomegranates are one of the most delicious fruits, with a wide variety of health benefits. If you pick a good pomegranate, the seeds are so red, juicy, and delicious. Pick a bad one, though, and you’ll be disappointed—the seeds will lack that sweetness and juiciness you were craving. Obviously, picking the perfect pomegranate is super important, and yet sometimes it’s hard to know if the one you see at the shop is a good one. Luckily, there are a few ways to figure out if the pomegranate you picked up is the perfect one to buy.

It’s Heavy

When a pomegranate is really good, it has super juicy seeds. The extra juice makes the pomegranate really heavy, especially for its small size. So, if you pick up a pomegranate and it seems pretty heavy, it’s likely a good one!

It’s Not Perfectly Round

Similar to watermelons, the perfect-looking ones aren’t usually the best-tasting. Look for pomegranates that aren’t perfectly round. If they have flatter sides, you’re looking at a good one.

It Has Shiny Skin

If the pomegranate you picked up has bruised or rough skin, put it back. This is not the perfect pomegranate you’re looking for. Instead, look for a pomegranate with super smooth and shiny skin.

Blueberries

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants including Vitamin C, copper, iron, and anthocyanin. These work in combination to keep your cells strong and healthy while providing your immune system with a boost.

Pomegranates
