Do you eat pomegranate? I like the idea of pomegranate: a healthy fruit. I like the look of pomegranate: a pretty fruit. But the last time my daughter had a pomegranate, she made such a mess that I told her I wouldn’t buy another one. Uh oh.
A study I read recently found that people are less hungry – have a lower desire to eat – after having pomegranate. Here’s my theory: it’s so much work and makes such a mess, that after dealing with a pomegranate we are no longer hungry. Ok, I admit, the study looked at people who’d taken a pomegranate supplement. They didn’t have to deal with the actual fruit. Heck – if someone else (or some machine) is willing to extract the juice from all those little seeds (are they seeds?), and if the price is right, I might consider it. I’m not necessarily jumping on the pomegranate band wagon, but mixing a little pomegranate into my life might not hurt. Maybe I’ll have it on holidays so I don’t overeat…
