has been mentioned in more ancient tablets and stories, perhaps they believe
this was a magical fruit that gave them strength and good health. In Greek
Mythology, the Pomegranate is known as the “Fruit of the Dead”. The story of
Persephona and how she was tricked by Hades in to eating 6 seeds of the Pomegranate, he
