I was reading a women's magazine from India called "Femina" just yesterday, and they had an article on pomegranates! What a coincidence. Well, it's also the season for it, so it's not that much of a coincidence...

So, I already knew about how healthy it is because of the antioxidants and Vitamin C that it has, but here's something I didn't know: Babylonians used to chew pomegranate seeds before every battle to make them invincible. Interesting, no?

Also, many Egyptians apparently were buried with pomegranates.

And it didn't mention this in the magazine, but of course we all know the role of pomegranate seeds in the Greek myth about Demeter and Persephone, too.

Fascinating, isn't it? It's just a fruit, but look how many centuries of legend there is behind it.

When it's all said and done though, it's just so good.
