Description
The pomegranate is widely considered to have originated in Iran and has been cultivated since ancient times.
Ancient Egyptians regarded the pomegranate as a symbol of prosperity and ambition.
Some say the forbidden fruit of the Bible was not an apple, but a pomegranate fruit. The word aphrodisiac originates with the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, and she is credited in Greek mythology with planting the first pomegranate tree. Because of their many seeds, pomegranates are often associated with fertility and abundance.
