Our fans LOVE their Pom Wonderful Pomegranates, so we arranged to hook you up with POM’s latest—PomPoms Arils (the juicy edible part)—already prepped and ready for snacking or cooking! Enter our Perfect POM Giveaway to win one of 10 PomPoms prize packs (a $45 value) today!
It’s prime pomegranate season, and we hope you take advantage of them when you see them in the store. Pomegranate arils are the tart and sweet parts that most of us consider the “seeds” of the pomegranate (they are actually the seed casings—the little seeds are inside the red arils). Pomegranates contain fiber, potassium, vitamins and polyphenols aplenty. Plus, the novelty of a pomegranate is fun for kids and adults. But sometimes you just want to get to the arils already! If you’re not in the mood for painstakingly picking through the pomegranate, you can now reach for PomPoms (see the little cup above left). Those are PomPoms fresh arils, all ready for you when you need them. (I think this belongs in the “What took so long before someone thought of this?” file.) Look for PomPoms in the refrigerated, cut-fruit section of the supermarket.
Ok, so what can you do with PomPoms fresh arils? I have lots of ideas (and in fact, I use them a lot around holiday time). I freeze them in ice cube trays for festive drinks, I sprinkle them on salads, toss them into fruit salad, sprinkle them over granola for breakfast, mix them into a savory pilaf, or use them to garnish a dish like pork tenderloin with pomegranate sauce. The POM Wonderful folks have lots of ideas on their website, as well as these quick ideas:
- Hostess Gifts: perfect for the hectic hostess—tie a pretty bow around the container of fresh arils and go!
- Add the sweet, tart taste of pomegranate to a savory entrée
- Sprinkle them over a salad
- Garnish festive holiday cocktails
- Sprinkle over yogurt or ice cream
- Enjoy as a crunchy, healthy snack straight from the package

I love my sweets, but since trying to eat healthier I love to substitute natural sweets in place of processed sugars.
I love pomegranates – so red and festive for the holidays! And POM is my favorite with the bright cheery gems of nutrition that go as a lovely topping on everything! I enjoy POMs the most on my lunch salads with turkey, avocado, apples, walnuts, pears and shredded cheese mixed in with baby spring mix and of course the gleaming RED POMs are the “cherries on top!”
Also mix them in my Greek yogurt too for an extra sweet crunch!

@Lexiquin RT’d your most recent tweet

I eat my POM perils straight out of the package, and I love POM juice too, it’s spendy but so tasty! Shared this on my Facebook and re-pinned to my pinterest, also tweeted to my twitter! Liked both pages as well!
I like to on my cereal.
In Greek yogurt! Sooo good!
I add them to my home made apple pies. They’re great. I even got my grandson to try them and now he loves them! Good for him, bad for me – he can’t figure out yet how to get the fruit out of their shells (as he calls them).
I enjoy them sprinkled on salad, especially with a vidallia onion vinaigrette
I love these ,they are also great in yogurt.
We love making Pomegranate Jam.
clicked the like button, but neither coupon will do anything but show a blank screen with an x in the upper right corner, bummer

In salads or in tapioca.
I enjoy and savor every little aril just the way it is. I scoop up a spoonful and put it in my mouth and crunch away. It is a delightful tantalizing experience. Gretchen
I enjoy them garnished 3 ways: in a cocktail while eating a salad sprinkled with them followed by an entree that has them as an accompaniment. Then again, I could eat them as is for a snack.
Love pomegranate seeds and pecans on salads with poppy seed dressing…
love to pop them in my mom or in a smoothie. Just picked up some at costco

Oh, this is seriously the best giveaway ever. I absolutely adore pomegranates! They are better than candy! I like them alone, or tossed in a smoothie, cereal, or yogurt! Thanks so much. I ‘like’ both pages on Facebook. -Heather J.
I enjoy them straight from their shell, I think it’s fun to pick out all the ariels and earn my reward, but i gotta admit it would be a treat to just eat them like this with no extra work!
I like pomegranates straight up–this fruit is delicious by itself!

They are so pretty to use as a garnish. I like sprinkling them in salads. There’s a Mexican dish that I like with ground meat stuffed in poblano peppers covered with a sweetish white sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. I also like them on top of Greek yogurt.

I eat them as a snack! Delish.
I like to eat pomegranate seeds in my salads.
I eat pomegranates fresh; slice it in half and bang out the seeds and eat them just like that. Love them!
I love poms whole, picking one seed at a time…
I like a freshly peeled pomegranate for breakfast with hot tea.
I love just eating them great for on the go

I love them fresh!
I pomegranate seeds in my morning oatmeal and in my afternoon smoothies.
I eat them over a bowl in front of the tv! I also have a great brownie recipe for them that I love.
I eat the ariels with a spoon… so good!
I love Pomegranate, it’s my favorite fruit. I like picking them out at the supermarket and analyzing its rich reddish pink colored skin. When I bring it home and cut it into fourths, I enjoy being squirted everywhere with red juice. Then, I would simply peel off the yellow layers inside that reminds me if the touch and appearance of sulfur. At last, I have a bowl full of bright, fresh pomegranate arils and I scoop them right into my mouth. Tasting the sweet, sour natural taste of pomegranate. Delicious! I would also blend it in my fruit smoothies when I feel like I need a cool drink. Pomegranates are a part of my nutritious life. <3
I think they’re wonderful just they way they are! I eat them plain
omg!! i have never seen these!!! we ALL LOVE poms…..would LOVE to try them!!!!! delic.!
https://www.facebook.com/andrea.grotta.7/posts/501717689862183?comment_id=5621205¬if_t=share_comment I LOVE POM!!! I love pomegranates in general. I’m just glad that POM has made them available all year! I really love POM’s little cup they use to put the seeds in and I still have a few glass jars from their POM Tea (they don’t use glass anymore
We eat the seeds plain and sometimes I smash them to use as a facial!
Never tried them until a few years ago. They go great in a homemade cranberry sauce.
I enjoy on salads. My 8 year old just loves to eat them with a spoon. They are good with turkey and nuts on a salad.
I eat them with my oatmeal
I like to slice an orange into chunks, add pomegranate and a little splash of granola…yum
I like to eat PomPoms straight from the container or will have fresh pomegranate.
I love eating them with a few morsels of dark chocolate.
I absolutely LOVE Pom Wonderful juice…or really any kind of Pomegranate juice. I also love the pom scent – in candles, body washes, or body sprays. I love to EAT pompoms straight from the container…YUMMY!
I love pomegranates in jam, stuffing and to flavor ice teas
I like Pom Arils in my chicken salad for a bright burst of color and flavor.
pomegranate is my absolute favorite fruit, & I always get pom wonderful brand. my favorite way to eat it is by the spoonful very cold from the fridge.
Pomegranate margaritas with Pom juice & the arils, plus the other margarita fixings are the BEST!!! During the summer I drink a lot of Pom juice mixed with Ice Tea – VERY thirst quenching. I do love the premade Pom/ice tea mix as well….I have 2 pomegranates sitting on my kitchen counter right now….great snack while watching a movie! In the last 5 days, I have eaten 2 packages of arils I bought at Costco last week! I LOVE Pomegranates & the juice!!!!
Luv them with vanilla yogurt & honey!
I remember being introduced to pomegranites as a kid by a great aunt. I have been in love with the fruit ever since and am always excited for November and December to roll around. As an adult I chose to only buy Pom Wonderful because they are the best fruit. I eat them all by themselves..I dont add them to salad or anything. They are so perfect by themselves..They dont need a darn thing with them!!! I collect the arils in a bowl, grab a spoon and enjoy big juicy mouthfuls. It may sound funny but every time I eat one I suddenly relax, I believe it’s because they are just so enjoyable to eat! I am happy to share this contest on my facebook page ..who wouldnt love the prize!!
I love Pomegranates in basically everything! They hydrate my and make me feel alive and happy and without them I would be very sad!
I did all of the above and tweeted https://twitter.com/ibereesecup/status/281033761183916032
