granada

Do Filipinos eat pomegranates? What%26#039;s the Tagalog term, pls.?
Growing up in the philippines, i%26#039;ve seen and heard of %26#039;granada%26#039; but never ate it, and really knew no one who especially liked it





i%26#039;ve been eating it since someone gave me a pomegranate a couple of years ago and I learned that it was good for men%26#039;s prostate health. So whether you%26#039;re filipino or not--pick one up.

Research suggests that pomegranate juice may be effective against prostate cancer and osteoarthritis. In 2007, six clinical trials in the United States, Israel and Norway have been approved to examine the effects of pomegranate juice consumption on parameters of prostate cancer or prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes or lymphoma

Reply:I used to when I was little. It%26#039;s a rare fruit here and back in the province it%26#039;s called %26quot;granada.%26quot;
Reply:Sorry Dunno. But hey something good came out of it I got 2 points.
Reply:I%26#039;ve eaten them but I%26#039;ve had them in Azerbaijan, They call it %26quot;nar%26quot; in Azerbaijani. I haven%26#039;t seen them here. I don%26#039;t know what it%26#039;s called in Tagalog..
Reply:we locally call it granada (translates to grenade in English). Maybe because of its shape and hundreds of tightly packed seeds covered in the most delicate and translucent pulp sometimes with a tinge of red or purple or maroon or just plain translucence arranged in sections covered with a thin gossamer sheath.


and no, haven%26#039;t tasted it yet
Reply:I think it is called, %26quot;Granada%26quot;.


I%26#039;m a Filipino but I think that fruit is not that popular in the Philippines. %26lt;*-*%26gt;

Reply:I guess some people in the Phil. do eat pomegranates but I haven´t actually tasted one, I use a lotion with pomegranates but I don´t really find that fruit in the local market (it´s also my first time to hear that there is such a fruit called ´granada´ )





better check ´em out in the market later^_^
Reply:It%26#039;s granada in Tagalog - purportedly originating from Granada, Spain.
Reply:Some Filipinos do eat pomegranates but it%26#039;s not really that popular back home. It%26#039;s an acquired taste, I think.








**Why would answers to a harmless question about fruit even merit thumbs down? What is really going on?
