 Hi everyone, this is Chichu. Welcome back to my channel and we're in fall 2017 and it's pomegranate season and the season this year has been absolutely magnificent and this has sort of become a yearly ritual for us I guess to sit down and have some pomegranates and this year seriously we've already gone through one bowl of pomegranates and we've got a I got another bowl here that I just tapped out last night let me show you this and there the season this year is absolutely magnificent right like so good and usually in pomegranate season you end up getting you know if you're a supplier of the store you're buying it from they're bringing a lot of pomegranates it's a seasonal thing that they do and I'm a firm believer in eating seasonal fruit and if the store where you get it from usually brings in pomegranates sometimes they have two different batches one of them are the smaller pomegranates they're sort of not perfect and they have the bigger larger pomegranate sort of like perfect that are picture perfect basically you can put in display and stuff right and I've been sampling from both piles and both piles are absolutely fantastic really it's one of the best pomegranate seasons I've seen for a long time right oops it's one of the best pomegranate seasons I've seen for a long time and I thought we sit down and enjoy a little pomegranates and what I've done this year is actually I've added one more ingredient to the way I eat the pomegranates with a spoon as you know you know sometimes I make pomegranate salad dressing that we put up the video for already and it's fantastic it's unfortunate that pomegranates come out in the fall and winter because salads a lot of salads I personally end up eating usually in the summertime right in the spring and summer where you get fresh greens coming out so I do eat make the pomegranate salad dressing every now and then I haven't this year yet and I have basically squished the pomegranates and sucked out the juice had some fresh pomegranate juice as well but the main way I've been eating pomegranates is in a bowl with a spoon and just usually by itself half the time well split between 50 50 half the time with yogurt pomegranates and yogurt half the time just pomegranates by themselves and you know I guess that's a third of time third time with yogurt third time by itself and a third time I mix other things in there today we're going to mix a little bit of things in there we're just going to mix a couple of ingredients one of them is going to be here let me show you I've been adding apples and apples I usually add apples or fall fruit they're fantastic right so this is a small green apple so we're cut up that I'm going to throw in my bowl then it goes fantastic with pomegranates really really good with pomegranates and then we're going to bring the pomegranates big bowl here and I'm just going to fill up well within reason right so like seriously look at those those are delicious pomegranates right mix it in there that's two two big spoonfuls anyway three let's mix this up as you can tell it looks fantastic it's amazing I guess fruit salad but it's just pomegranates and apples they mix it up and the apples that they're green they sort of start taking on the red color of the pomegranates and it's a nice nice combination because the pomegranates the seeds are sharp and the apple is very you know it's nice and fibrous and mixes in with the with the seeds really well right you can tell right the apples are picking up the red tint of the pomegranates and this year one thing I've been doing let me show you this adding some organic cocoa or coca or cacao all right however you choose to pronounce it and it's baking baking cocoa or baking cacao right so it's very it's got a strong flavor you don't need very much I'm not going to add this much let me show you how much I'm going to add I'm going to add just one little teaspoon to the bowl that we have okay and it turns uh and I sort of spread it all around right and then mix it and if I want more I'll add more okay but mix it in and what happens is you know things start turning dark like chocolate all right so you can think about this thing think of this thing as sort of a pomegranate and apple chocolate fruit salad right it loses this beautiful red color but the taste if you want a little bit of a chocolate taste it's fantastic okay so that's what I've sort of been munching on lately for last month or so because pomegranates season started about a month ago a little bit longer ago but they're the pomegranates that first came out they weren't that great so I held off a little bit to binge binge eat pomegranates during the peak season when they're really just beautifully red and flavorful okay so this is our officially our yearly ritual of eating pomegranates okay and I usually try to grab at least one apple with the pomegranate with a spoonful of pomegranates right seriously very good right fantastic it's like an explosion of flavor in the mouth all over and get the juices watch this fresh pomegranate juice right very good
