We believe pomegranates are underrated. Some people seem intimidated by this wonderful fruit and focus on how hard it is to peel (we have some great tips here, by the way) or worry about the juice staining their clothes.
However, pomegranates offer multiple health benefits as they are rich in antioxidants and nutrients. Additionally, the sweet and sour flavour of the fruit, along with its vibrant seeds, can immediately elevate any dish to new heights, such as in the Pomegranate and Halloumi recipe by @rachelle.bingham. It’s the perfect side dish or snack to make your meal times more exciting.
Make this recipe more sustainable by using our perfectly imperfect pomegranates, which are rejected by supermarkets due to slight blemishes from hail damage. In even better news, you can get all your pantry essentials from ourFarmers Pick Pantry. We have over 28 new essential pantry items and Bargain Buys! Simply add them to your Farmers Pick Box, and we’ll deliver everything straight to your doorstep.
