In Greek mythology, Persephone, the personification of Earth's fertility was said to be eating pomegranates when God of the Underworld Hades saw her, was smitten, came, snatched and made off with her. What can I say? He had good taste. And so did she. The health benefits of pomegranates are astounding to say the very least. The amount of potassium alone is enough to make a banana blush. Plus, they are simply delicious. You probably burn more calories eating one than is in the actual fruit itself.

I love everything about pomegranates. The taste, the process of peeling and pulling out seeds, getting my fingers stained red... it goes on. They're also really good for you. Win, win all around. (via Pom Wonderful)
