In Greece the most typical fruit of this season is the pomegranate. It is broadly known as one of the healthiest fruit since a 100-g serving of pomegranate seeds provides 12% of the Daily Value for Vitamin C.
As you can see in the pictures below, our 3rd graders tried hard to peel the pomegranates and taste the sweet, red seeds inside it. They had fun and enjoyed this experiential lesson literally, they used their hands to touch , their nose to smell, their tongues to taste, their eyes to observe, their ears to hear the crack when they broke these beautiful fruit. They said riddles to each other about the pomegranate, they sang songs and they read stories and poems. They learnt about all the benefits οf this super food during this unique experience in class. Every child and adult should have pomegranates in their daily diet.

You can still find them grilled in the streets of the big cities of Greece as they used to be sold in the past by the so-called "kastanades", the roving chestnuts salesmen.
