I'm very excited to announce that pomegranate season 2009 has started in Tulsa! Keep an eye out for these amazing fruits at your grocer's produce section. If your grocery does not carry pomegranates, I know you can find the Pom Wonderful variety at the 71st and 169 Super Target.
Last year I reported that the season typically started in September and ran until January. I spoke with Pom Wonderful today and was told that if I was seeing pomegranates in September they weren't Pom Wonderful. The season for the Pom variety runs from mid October until January. However, I was told that this year is going to be one of the better harvests in recent memory. Pom Wonderful is forecasting that we might even go into the first part of February this year! (no promises)
If you've never tired a pomegranate, this is the year to start. Go down to the store and pick one up! For more information about how to choose a pomegranate, how to open one, and more, check out this handy Pomegranate 101 guide.

Great post! We tried them fresh for the first time last year thanks to The Happy Housewife. Pomegranate is one of the more quirky fruits: unique, zingy, delightful! ...Much like Roemerman, actually.
