2 LESSON PLAN Introduction: Time: 2-3 minutes Welcome the class and thank them for making time to come. Briefly introduce yourself and the program. Ask the class: Pomegranates have been around for over 4000 years. Does anyone know when pomegranates were first mentioned in a written text? o Moses mentioned them in the Book of Exodus in the Holy Bible (1445 B.C.). Homer also makes references to pomegranates in the Iliad and Odyssey which were written in about 800 B.C. A pomegranate is a round fruit the size of an orange filled with hundreds of edible seeds called arils. The seeds are packed inside the fruit separated by fleshy membranes. Each juicy aril contains a crunchy center. The name pomegranate literally means many seeded apple. In fact, some scholars believe it was actually a pomegranate that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden and not an apple. Native to the area once known as Persia, the pomegranate has been cultivated all through the Middle East and Europe. Spanish settlers planted the first pomegranate tree in California in Pomegranates now grow in many warm and arid climates throughout the world, including Southern Utah. The pomegranate is perhaps the most celebrated fruit in the world. For centuries it has appeared and been mentioned in myths, legends, religious traditions, and historical accounts in countries around the world. It is sometimes called the Jewel of Autumn. Almost every religion makes mention of or uses the symbol of the pomegranate in some way. It also represents vitality, fertility, and good luck in some cultures. Pomegranates are traditionally thrown and broken open at Greek and Turkish weddings and pictures of open pomegranates are a common gift at Chinese weddings. This represents the wish for the couple to have as many children as there are seeds. Ask the class: Can any guess how many arils are inside a pomegranate? o The average number is around 650. The juice from pomegranates will stain almost anything, which is why it was once used as a dye. The membrane of the pomegranate is used in the tanning process of Moroccan leather, which gives the leather a yellow hue. Objective 1: Explain a health benefit provided by pomegranates. Time: 2-3 minutes Ask the class: Pomegranates have something in common with a glass of milk. Anyone want to guess what that might be? o Unlike most fruits, pomegranates are high in calcium. They are also a good source of potassium and vitamins C and B 6. Calcium, a mineral, is an important component of strong bones and teeth. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant, which works to fight cancer-causing agents in our bodies. In fact, pomegranates actually have more antioxidants than blueberries! When eaten on a regular basis, pomegranates have been shown to lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke. In some cultures pomegranates are used to treat mouth ulcers, the bladder, stomach, and even to expel tapeworms! 2
3 Objective 2: Describe cost- and time-effective strategies for incorporating pomegranates into family meals. Time: 3-5 minutes Ask the class: How do you incorporate pomegranates into your family s diet? Do you have any favorite recipes that include pomegranates? o Examples of ways to use pomegranates: As an elegant topping to almost anything such as yogurt, ice cream, cereal, pancakes, waffles, and salads; added to grains and risotto; in smoothies; juiced, dried, jammed, frozen, jellied, and made into molasses or syrup. Pomegranates can even be thrown together with meat and vegetables and wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla for a healthy lunch. Pomegranates are very popular in Spanish, Italian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American dishes The juice can be boiled down and concentrated to make Grenadine, a light syrup used to flavor cocktails, soft drinks, and confections. Pomegranates can be substituted for raisins, cranberries, cherries, and raspberries. Of course, one of the best ways to enjoy a pomegranate is by the handful. Objective 3: Explain how to select pomegranates. Time: 1-2 minutes Ask the class: Does anyone have any tips on how to choose a good, fresh pomegranate? Pomegranates are usually only available in grocery stores between September and January. Look for plump, heavy fruits without any visible bruises. Because the pomegranate plant has dense, thorny branches, it provides its own defense from insects and insecticides are rarely needed. Objective 4: Describe preparation and storage techniques for pomegranates, including cleaning, trimming, and storing. Time: 5-10 minutes Pomegranates can be stored in a cool, dry place for a couple of weeks or wrapped in the fridge for several months. Fresh arils or juice can be stored in the fridge for about 5 days. Separating the arils from the inner membrane causes them to squirt juice so it is important to know how to peel a pomegranate properly. Keep in mind pomegranate juice will stain so it is a good idea to wear an apron and to use a plastic cutting board. Demonstrate how to separate the arils under water (see video link in Preparation Required) Ask the class: Pomegranates have a pretty short season. What if you cannot find a good pomegranate in the store? o Pomegranate juice can be found in almost any grocery store. Be sure to check the label to make sure you are buying 100% juice and try to select the juice lowest in added sugar. Freezing pomegranate arils is a simple way to enjoy them anytime. Place dried arils on a cookie sheet and place them in them in the freezer. When they are frozen, transfer them to an air-tight bag or container. When defrosting pomegranate arils don t run them under hot water or they will lose their flavor. Pomegranate arils can be dehydrated and substituted for raisins, tossed in breads or muffin batter, or eaten alone. Pomegranates can be juiced using a few different methods. o Blend the arils in a blender or food processor then strain the juice in a strainer lined with cheese cloth to remove the woody centers. 3
4 o Press down and roll the whole pomegranate on the counter until you no longer hear the arils burst. The fruit can then be punctured and the juice poured out of the fruit. o When only a small amount of juice is needed, arils can be mashed with a fork against the side of a strainer. A medium-sized pomegranate will provide about ½ cup juice or ¾ cup fresh arils. Objective 5: Prepare and taste food that includes pomegranates. Time: 20 minutes Today we are going to make and taste a variety of recipes using pomegranates. Pomegranates add a sweet-tart flavor that perfectly off-sets the heat packed by Serrano chili peppers in this Pomegranate Guacamole. This recipe is perfect with your favorite tortilla chips! Demonstrate Pomegranate Guacamole (see recipe pg. 6). This Pear and Pomegranate Salad is a simple dish that can be enjoyed any day of the week but is elegant enough to be served as a starter to your holiday meal. Apples can also be substituted for the pear for extra crunch. Demonstrate Pear and Pomegranate Salad (see recipe pg. 6). Fruit salsas have become a must-have with the main dish of the meal. This one is sure to be a winner the next time you make beef, chicken, fish, or beans for dinner! Demonstrate Dixie Pomegranate Salsa (see recipe pg. 7). Pomegranate and banana come together to make a creamy smoothie perfect for breakfast or even a mid-day snack. The woody pomegranate seeds chop finely enough to resemble the texture of raspberry seeds. Demonstrate Pomegranate and Banana Smoothie (see recipe pg. 7). Wild rice is a great source of whole grains. Combined with the chewy texture of barley, this pilaf is perfect to adorn any holiday feast. For extra flavor and versatility sauté mushrooms with the onions. Toasted pine nuts also make a delicious addition, which complements the nutty flavor of the barley. Demonstrate Barley & Wild Rice Pilaf with Pomegranate (see recipe pg. 7). Conclusion Time: 5 minutes Pomegranates are a tasty, healthy way to get fruit into your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. They are packed not only with abundant flavor but are loaded with good nutrition, too. Ask the class: What did you learn today that you didn t know about pomegranates before taking this class? Ask the class: What will you do differently to make pomegranates a part of your families diet now that you have had this lesson? Ask the class: Are there any questions? Thank you for attending. Serve samples. 4
