It might have been the original apple Eve was tempted to sink her teeth into (understandably). From its native Persia, the pomegranate spread to China, was brought by the Phoenicians to Carthage, where the Romans picked it up. The Moors brought the fruit to Spain round 800 A.D. and named Granada, one of their major cities after it
The acid fruit was not only appreciated for its red seeds, the skin was also used to colour leather.
The French army named a hand-tossed explosive a grenade after the seed-scattering properties of the pomegranate fruit.
Be careful when peeling and handling the fruit: the red juice stains are very difficult to remove.
