A-nar (Pomegranate)

Wikipedia says: A pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree growing to between five and eight meters tall. Native to the drier regions of the Mediterranean Basin, pomegranate is widely cultivated throughout India and parts of southeast Asia, Malaya, the East Indies and tropical Africa.[1] Introduced into Latin America and California by Spanish settlers in 1769, pomegranate is now cultivated in parts of California and Arizona for juice production.

Seasoned fruits right now here.. for 5 dolllars 6 big pomegranate was bought.. it is so sweet, a cherry like color friuts. The local people told me to eat also the seeds so I searched in the internet if it's safe to eat the seeds or I need to spit it out but as I read the seeds are also rich from nutrients.. And the good thing with this fruits is.. a good source of FIBER!!
