Looking for pomegranate seeds

TJ's doesn't have them right now. Any suggestions? Ethnic/Middle Eastern groceries?

    Yes, they are definitely out of season here. I need them for a photograph. The fruit can only be imported as seeds from other countries. Tried BB also, no avail.
    Any other sightings would be helpful.
    Thanks.

      I saw the seeds in plastic containers at Berkeley Bowl, a few weeks ago. They were in the case above the cut melons (at the Old B Bowl).
      I recall being surprised since they are out of season now, as another poster mentioned. Perhaps they come from the Southern Hemisphere.
      I don't recall seeing them on my BB trip last Thursday, but I was not looking for them.

        the Southern Hemisphere season runs from March-May. however, i just read on the web that India (which actually lies in the Northern Hemisphere), now grows/produces pomegranates year-round. my guess is that the seeds you saw were from India.

        i'd be surprised if you can find them at all. pomegranates are completely out of season right now (and will be until September).
