White pomegranate juice is seriously so much tastier and refreshing the the red. White pomegranates offer a super sweet taste and have the highest sugar levels and the lowest acidity of all the varieties. Pomegranates symbolize life and vitality in many cultures. Pomegranates are ancient fruits, with some evidence of their existence dating back to between 4000 B.C. and 3000 B.C. Native to present day Iran and Turkey, research has revealed that Egypt, Jericho and Mesopotamia were the first cultures to domesticate Pomegranate trees in their early orchards. The Pomegranate was first introduced to the Western hemisphere by Spanish settlers in 1769, and today it is cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates. The White variety typically ripens earlier than the red variety and has a much shorter season. It is estimated that there are some 500 varieties of pomegranate grown world-wide. White pomegranates may be used similarly to the red variety with the one obvious advantage of no color staining. Their seeds may be easily and cleanly removed by breaking apart the fruits in four or five pieces and submerging in a large bowl of water. The edible seeds will sink and the white inedible membrane will float and is easily skimmed away. The seeds may simply be eaten raw as a snack or added into salads, relishes, garnishes or desserts. The juice is highly flavorful on its own, but may be reduced down into pomegranate molasses or fermented into pomegranate vinegar. Complimentary flavors include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, coconut, lemon, grapefruit, orange, apple, pear, honey, almond, hazelnuts, curry, lamb, chicken and pork. ・・・ #growninhaiti #pomegranate #whitepomegrante #variety #diversity #antioxidants #vitaminc #haiti #ayiti #foodforest #abundance #juice #sweet #agroforestry #reforestation #organic #treeripened #nogmos https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Iv944FnVn/?igshid=1tgi2j4j1fx9w
