Is there really a Bible verse that says this?

At an old job, I worked in the produce department. A lady came in one day asking for pomegranates, but we didn't have any at the time. She said that the Bible said that people should eat a seed from a pomegranate every day for good health. Does it really say that? I did a search at Biblegateway.com and couldn't find one. I found a lot of verses that mentioned pomegranates, but none that specifically said to eat them for good health.

Is there really a Bible verse that says this?
Well I have this program called E-Sword. I found no references to pomegranate in the N.T. . I found 8 verses, 10 mentions in the O.T. . Now this was in the KJV, since that is one of the most common ones quoted. (I have about 14 more I can search though). But nothing showed up at all concerning health issues. And a search in the Strong's Dictionary in the original Hebrew turned up nothing either. Seems to me the lady was one banana short of a full bunch.


Pomegranates are good for you, but nothing specific is mentioned in the Good Book.


This was a very interesting question by the way. It's good to be curious. That is how science learns new things. Otherwise we get stuck in the dark ages.

Reply:Any time, glad to help. Remember never stop being curious. Report It

Reply:uh no i don't think so


but there's a parable that says that if you "plant" one in you're heart it will grow. that's refering to faith. plant faith, nurture it daily, it will grow.
Reply:The pomegranate is mentioned 12 times in the Bible, but the seed of the pomegranate is not mentioned at all. Here is a list of the books of the Bible where the word "pomegranate" appears and how many times in each book:





Exodus 4


1 Samuel 1


Song of Solomon 5


Joel 1


Haggai 1
Reply:She was confused, sounds a lot more like something Edgar Cayce may have said.Not in the Bible,but good fruit.
Reply:I don't think so. God bless!
Reply:That scipture isnt in the bible. As a matter of fact i dont even think she read it in there.
Reply:Probably a subjective interpretation... just like most applications of the bible.
Reply:I don't know about a verse in the bible, but the pomegranate has been called "The fruit of the Gods." I believe that ambrosia has been called this too. :)
Reply:Err...no. Where the heck did that lady come from? I think she means Dionysis or somthing. Maybe the 'seed' from a pomegranate is a metaphor meaning that we should pray and touch our spirit with the Lord everyday for 'good health.'
Reply:even if there is one, she was probably taking the bible to a more physical level. I think some of it is like that, but a lot of it, you need to be thinking on a spirit level.
Reply:Uhhhh learn some science bro. Don't look to a myth for good health.
