——————

In Palestine, the pomegranate is widespread in gardens and the countryside. Its original home is thought to be Iran. It contains high levels of antioxidants and is thought to help prevent serious diseases. In many ancient civilizations, the pomegranate was a symbol of fertility due to its abundant seeds, and was believed to keep away evil spirits.

“There is much concerning the pomegranate in Palestinian folklore. One traditional saying is, ‘The pomegranate fills the heart with faith.’ People also believed it to be forbidden to leave any seed uneaten, because one of the seeds had come from paradise.”
