Just look at the grocery stores and look at the prices of produce... One pomegranate is over $5 for one in Walla Walla if it's a big one, but mainly their tiny and cost $3...that's too bad because I love pomegranates not only to eat, but to use as dyes (both the juice and the peels).
Jet made this on topic by using them for dyes, so I won't feel guilty. Actually maybe I should feel guilty, because I bought a large pomegranate today for less than a US dollar. It weighed almost exactly one pound.
I found that price comparison amazing, because almost everything is very expensive here in Sweden - especially Stockholm. The important fact is that I bought it in a store in a mostly recent-immigrant residents suburb. Kurds, Somalis, Balkans people, plus various other Africans and Middle Easterners live there. I shop there because the quality and choice of the veggies is outstanding and the prices are much lower than in mainstream supermarkets. I don't know about the quality of my bargain pomegranate, bur Susanne and I will have it for our late dessert tonight, and I'll let you know.
I will be at a mainstream shopping center tomorrow and with check the price of pomegranates at the three supermarkets there, and give you a report. The cost at today's market at the current exchange rate was US $0.89 a pound.
