Description
These lovely pomegranates were offered for sale in a street market in Turkey. They were ripe to perfection and breaking open with their bounty. One of my favorite drinks that can be bought freshly squeezed on the streets there is pomegranate juice. The vendors will also squeeze fresh orange juice and combine the two flavors.....mmmmmm mouthwatering! Lucky for me it was harvest time for these delicious fruits when I was there.
The pomegranate originated in the region of modern-day Iran and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region and northern India. It was introduced into Spanish America in the late 16th century and California by Spanish settlers in 1769.
Today, it is widely cultivated throughout the Middle East and Caucasus region, north Africa and tropical Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, the drier parts of southeast Asia, and parts of the Mediterranean Basin. It is also cultivated in parts of California and Arizona. In recent years, it has become more common in the commercial markets of Europe and the Western Hemisphere.
