Rang III Pomegranate Tasting
Today we tasted pomegranates in school. 22 people liked them and 5 people didn’t like them. We were tasting them with two other schools in America on Twitter. The schools we were tasting them with are in Indiana, USA. We ate the seeds, they were nice and juicy. Some people didn’t like the seeds but liked the juice. Lots of people thought they tasted like grapes. They also tasted like cranberry. The schools in America thought that the pomegranates were really nice and they didn’t like the seeds.
Rang III Pomegranate Tasting
Earlier we went to the halla to find out five pomegranates facts each. We used our iPods to go onto the internet to find out the pomegranate facts. Here are some of the things that we found out:
- We found out that the word pomegranate is from the Latin “Pomum Granatum” which means “apple of many seeds”.
- The Romans called the pomegranate a “punic apple”.
- The ancient Egyptians were buried with pomegranates. (Weird!)
- The pomegranate is also known as “Granada” in Spanish and “Grenade” in French.
- The pomegranate can cure kidney disease
- The most popular thing is pomegranate juice but there is also pomegranate jellies, pomegranate wine and even pomegranate salad dressing.
- Pomegranates are actually not a fruit, they are a berry.
- The pomegranate tree can grow between 20 and 30 feet tall.
- A lot of people don’t know that it’s only the juice and the seeds that are edible.
