Does anyone know of grocery stores, or farmer's markets or even online stores where I can find the fresh promegranate fruit? I live in Fremont but will travel to nearby cities for pomegranates. Thanks. Tue Nov 03 11:40:33 -0800 2009 1121419 blugobblin 1 5152591 I've seen them at the Berkeley farmers market. Ram Das and Full Belly have both had them recently. You could check out the market today (Derby between Milvia and MLK), and in the unlikely event they don't have any, Berkeley Bowl's just a couple of blocks away. Persian markets in Fremont probably have them, too. Maybe Afghan markets as well.

Price was around $2 a pound, I think. Whatever it was, they cost much less than Whole Foods in Oakland, which had a bunch last night as well. Tue Nov 03 13:40:40 -0800 2009 5152546 322429 bgbc 1 5153006 Everyone seems to have them in the Berkeley area. Berkeley Bowl has lots. Tue Nov 03 13:51:43 -0800 2009 5152546 10264 rworange 1 5153023 Almost every stand that had fruit had them at the Alemany Farmers' Market this past Saturday . . . . Tue Nov 03 13:55:41 -0800 2009 5152546 44619 mariacarmen 2 5153051 I even saw them at Grocery Outlet in Oakland. I think they were 99 cents each. Tue Nov 03 14:01:31 -0800 2009 5153023 10159 Ruth Lafler 3 5153263 Yes, Grocery Outlet should have them. Berkeley and San Pablo did. Also, give Perry Farms in Fremont a call and see if they have them. If they do, they will have many different varieties. http://www.chow.com/restaurants/43829/perry-farms I don't know if it is still there, but right near one of the highway exits in Fremont there is a fruit stand. I know I reported on it a few years back but nothing is turning up in search. Tue Nov 03 15:03:34 -0800 2009 5153051 10264 rworange 1 5153045 Sun AM...Farmers Market near Newpark Mall..See you there! Tue Nov 03 14:00:52 -0800 2009 5152546 24544 rdabke 1 5153050 There are a large selection of amazing pomegranates at Monterey Market in Berkeley. Tue Nov 03 14:01:26 -0800 2009 5152546 268346 lorien 2 5153298 Actually, yesterday there were the ones for $1.79. The delicious $.89/lb and the $1.49/lb were no longer seen. Is this a today sighting lorien? The $.89 turned out to be 3 pomegranates for $2.52 with fat, juicy, dark red seeds. Tue Nov 03 15:18:02 -0800 2009 5153050 105235 wolfe 1 5153233 There's a selection of varieties to choose from at the Berkeley Bowl.

Wed Nov 04 13:07:14 -0800 2009 5153233 105235 wolfe 1 5153958 I really don't know if this is true for other growers or not, but fwiw, one of the Central Valley growers of pomegranites told me a few weeks ago that he was concerned that the early, heavy rains we had a bit ago would wipe out most if not all of his crop. Tue Nov 03 20:08:44 -0800 2009 5152546 10158 susancinsf 1 5156418 I saw one vender with several crates of them last Sunday at the Civic Center farmers market, but did not notice any today. Then again, I didn't have time to walk the entire market. What I saw Sunday looked ripe and delicious, a combination of intact fruit and some that were bursting open. Wed Nov 04 15:30:53 -0800 2009 5152546 11577 Pei 1 5157155 Yes, Safeway has them now ... 2 for $3 basically (try the one in Warm Springs, if you're in Fremont). Costco also sold bowls of the arils (Seeds).. 480grams or so for $6, separated into 2 containers. Trader Joe's also sells the seeds in bowls. Wed Nov 04 20:54:06 -0800 2009 5152546 126639 marilees
