I want to savor them but I can't help but eat giant ass spoonfuls. I need a steady drip of pomegranate in my life. Persephone could offer me a single seed and I, fully understanding the consequences of my actions, would ask for more. If I had a pomegranate tree I would make sacrifices to it. This is the best fruit to have ever existed.

I love it too! When I visited Italy they were just everywhere on the trees!! Ripe yummy fruit fucking literally falling off the trees, so much

My secret gross thing is cause prepping them is so much work and messy I like to eat them in the shower lol

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shower pomegranate is an interesting choice. A very tempting one though

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its fanatic. You can just dive right in, hot water on you and cold fruit is invigorating. You can just spit out the seeds. Shower fruit rocks. Im not a breakfast guy so the first thing I eat after waking up is always fruit, combo'd it to save time and stuck to it.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Been enjoying some figs lately as well. Gonna try those in the shower tomorrow

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Figs are also amazing. I should get some figs. Makes a great jam too. Ive also wanted to make salsa with it

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Eating fruit in the shower rules. Its how I eat breakfast, I could eat and then shower or shower and then eat or have hot water blast down on me while I eat cold fruit and get a nice sugar rush. I also smoke a joint. I tske a long morning shower but get a lot done breakfast, wake n bake and brush my teeth. My landlord pays my hot water.

I would never have thought to wager that someone would come along to the eating in the shower thread and say me too. I miss blasting doobies I feel like i overdo it when I have flower on hand and smoke my ass paranoid, maybe I can swing by a shop and see if they sell just a gram of something good.

Yep. Long warm showers where you also get other self care tasks done, when someone else pays the water bill, is a great feeling. Especially in the winter.

Broke: Plain ol' boring shower

Woke: Shower beer

Bespoke: Shower pomegranate

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

S tier fruit for sure. Huge fan, very satisfying cause you just gotta dive the fuck into it and spit some seeds in the process. Feels primal and good.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

😳 you are supposed to spit the seeds? I just crunch through them, spitting them all out sounds like so much extra work.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Generally the seeds are not just chomped but they are edible and based on a quick look chock full of good shit for you so Id say keep it up. Spitting seeds out while going monkey mode on a fruit in the shower feels good too tho

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like the taste a lot, but I find I can never eat it because of the pits

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Drink pomegranate juice my friend

[–] CredibleBattery@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

YES POMEGRANATES, YES YES POMEGRANATES.... sicko-wholesome

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel the same way about passionfruit

Also mango

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What is passionfruit like, I've never had one

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Tart and bright, almost like citrus but with more sweetness

It's super refreshing as a juice or sorbet

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Try pomegranate molasses, you can find it in Mediterranean/west Asian food places and its amazing. Put it on muhadara

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Iranians and Greeks really cooked with that

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That sounds like something I could drown myself in

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it's really good. it's a strong, tart flavor that is a great contrast to savory flavors

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Just found out it's in muhammara. Only had it once but I fucking loved it

[–] pisstoria@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have a Soviet pomegranate variety planted with a single fruit on it right now. I'm going to be devastated if anything happens to it before it ripens.

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Mmmmmm. Tasty red fruit originating from the USSR... now that is some Ultimate Commie Shit. I want one.

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I give frozen pomegranate seeds to my sick kids, and almost every day I feed my kids fresh seeds on avocado toast with feta or in yogurt with pumpkin seeds and honey. It’s been great for getting em to eat healthy

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Mix it with some coconut 👌

Salting it a little is also crazy good

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

one time i bought a blue gatorade thinking it would be an enjoyable flavor but it was blueberry pomegranate and was the worst beverage i'd ever tasted until i had a sip of chardonnay at some wedding.

What about pomegranates could possibly cause this

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

So offensive it was purged from the modlog

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago

Absolutely agree, and one of the feelings of pride I ever have in life is skillful scoring the pomegranate and breaking it open without loosing/piercing an aril.

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

They're just such a great sensory experience. The taste is great and the texture is so good. When it's cold, it's like frozen peas as a sensory thing, except juicy and sweet. Just so good. The only thing I don't understand from that myth, is how Persephone stopped herself at six seeds.

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

You love pomegranate? You have to try Churchkhela from Georgia. Check that pink shit on the right:
