passion for pomegranate

One of the most prominent aphrodisiac fruits of Greek mythology, the pomegranate was considered a culinary symbol of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. It was also, along with grapes and figs, one of the ceremonial foods of Dionysian rites.

A splash of Valentine's red, even the pomegranate's color suggests desire. (In ancient Middle Eastern cultures, this aphrodisiac fruit's many seeds were considered a visual symbol of virility).

Thanks to their potent nutritional content, (pomegranates are fiber rich as well as an excellent source of vitamin C), pomegranates have been used as a sexual cure across a wide span of cultures. The fruit was even recommended as a natural aphrodisiac in the Kama Sutra.

Try tearing open a pomegranate with your fingers and share its sweet tart pearls with your lover in the nude, licking the red stain of juice as it dribbles down each others' arms.
