Pomegranates

Pomegranates, the fruit of life and legend, and king of the world of winter fruits, the pomegranate has been revered for over 5,000 years. In Greek mythology, it was the fruit that bound Persephone to the underworld, explaining the cycle of the seasons. A symbol of life, rebirth, and abundance, pomegranates have long been associated with festivals, celebrations, and ancient rituals. Pomegranates are without doubt a mythological, symbolic, and superfood powerhouse, loved for their vibrant colour and bold flavour.

Breaking open a pomegranate reveals hundreds of ruby-red seeds, each bursting with tart-sweet juice and packed with antioxidants. Whether enjoyed fresh, pressed into juice, or sprinkled over salads and desserts, pomegranates bring a vibrant, luxurious touch to any dish. Even today, in Greece and beyond, it remains a symbol of prosperity and good luck, with pomegranates traditionally broken on the ground at New Year’s for a blessing of abundance.
