Make It Pop with Pomegranates!

Madera, Calif., November 14, 2024. California Pomegranate season is officially underway. Harvested October – January, the season is short but oh so sweet. Perfectly aligned with the holidays, there’s no shortage of festive ideas to make snack time and recipes pop with color, flavor and nutrition.

To celebrate the season, the Pomegranate Council partnered with Tara “Teaspoon” Bench. As the former food editor of Martha Stewart Living, Tara knows how to make the holidays special.

“From a gorgeous cheese platter to a holiday ham, the pomegranate’s bright, juicy, red arils elevate any dish. Not to mention, they make a fabulous centerpiece!”

Pomegranate arils or juice made from the arils make for a show-stopping ingredient in cocktails, salads, dips, sides, entrees, desserts, and more. Adding sweetness, juiciness, and crunch, pomegranate possibilities are truly endless!

Adds Tara: “Pomegranates are the quintessential food gift! Deliver whole pomegranates to neighbors or make my Pomegranate Crunchy Clusters, a delicious mix of chocolate, coconut, granola and pomegranates.”

Got wellness goals this holiday season? Pomegranates can help you achieve those too! Whether you’re looking for an anti-aging boost or a smoothie ingredient to help fuel your workouts, pomegranates have the winning nutrients. From vitamin C to polyphenols and potassium, this ruby red fruit has you covered.
