      INTRODUCTION

      ‘Let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.’

      Song of Solomon 7 v 12

      HISTORY

      The modern name ‘pomegranate’ (punicum granatum) derives from the Latin pomus (apple) and granatum (grained, seeded). Pomegranates are believed to have originated in Persia (modern Iran) and the Himalayan region, and have been cultivated and held in high regard for thousands of years.

      In Biblical texts pomegranates are included in descriptions of an idyllic land: ‘For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land … of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey …’ (Deuteronomy 8 v 8). Islamic literature includes pomegranates in descriptions of Paradise, and some believe that the apple in the Garden of Eden was in fact a pomegranate.

      The pomegranate was one of the first fruits to be cultivated, and its uniqueness surely must have helped it spread rapidly through the Middle East and to Egypt, where it was associated with life after death and included in tomb offerings. King Tutankhamun was buried in the 14th century BC with a beautiful pomegranate-shaped silver vase, and depictions of pomegranates can be seen in tomb paintings and sculptures.

      Archaeological evidence shows that the pomegranate was known in ancient Greece 4000 years ago. Excavations at Bronze Age Mycenae and Akrotiri have revealed pomegranate imagery in jewellery, paintings and on pottery.
