Where Can I Find it?
Pomegranates have a short season and don’t keep well. Many areas haven’t grown them until recently, and they had to be shipped from the Mediterranean. You can find several brands of pomegranate juice in your local grocery store. If you’re not a big fan of the taste, you can also find pomegranate mixed with other familiar juices to give it a more pleasant flavor. Make sure the product you get is 100% juice and doesn’t have added sugars and fillers. When you do find the fruit in season, you can either skin and deseed them for freezing, or just throw them in the juicer and freeze it for later.
