Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing shrub. Popular in the Middle East for centuries, it has become known as a "super food" and grows in many countries.
Inside the fruit, which is red and about the size of an apple, the edible part that most people call seeds are actually arils. Arils cover the seed and encourage birds to eat them and spread seeds in wide area. The juice surrounding the seed has a wine-y sweet/tart flavor.
