while i was looking up how to spell 'pomegranate' (didn't want another 'lama' incident!) i found out all sorts of usful information:

- In South Africa, the pomegranate is sometimes referred to as 'the poor man's cranberry'

- Pomegranate is one of the symbols of Armenia, representing fertility, abundance and marriage.

- Pomegranate juice will turn blue when subjected to basic (ie alkaline) conditions (similar to litmus paper).

- With the rise in popularity of the pomegranate in American markets, Starbucks introduced a pomegranate frappuccino in the summer of 2006.
