The Enduring Power of Pomegranates

We love celebrating seasonal food, and in Southern California it's pomegranate time.  These magical ruby gems, which originated in Ancient Persia, and have long been celebrated in mythology, folk tales, and art.  These days we understand them as an antioxidant powerhouse and a shirt-staining indulgence.  We had a great week celebrating and tasting this fruit in 3rd grade classrooms all over Long Beach!
