Yahoo! got the stick from Mumbaiites.

As a fruit lover and that too a trier who never hesitates to taste new fruits that I have not heard of before, the article in Yahoo! titled, "13 weirdest fruits of Mumbai" naturally attracted me to read it with avid curiosity.

Whenever I go to hill stations, I try every hill fruit that are not available in the plains like Madras.

Well, this article in Yahoo! published about fruits that are strange to the article author named Shaheen Peerbhai. The mention of popular fruits such as Amla and Chikoo as weird fruits among other fruits that definitely new to most of the Indians not living in Bombay, attracted several caustic comments from Mumbaiites.

The hearbal pearls of pomegranate.

When I first heard about seedless pomegranate, I was surprised why they cultivated such a breed! It is a total waste eating seedless pomegranate as it is the seeds that contain all the minerals and vitamins.

Not all know about this rare fact.

The juice of pomegranate when mixed equal measure of ginger with small quantities of honey will cure acute cough.

Pomegranate fruit contains nearly 75% of water plus 10 to 12 % of calcium and magnesium each. Traces of copper, sulphur, phospahte and silica are found in this gem of a fruit.

In addition, you get 16 MG of vitamin C in each pomegranate.

The flowers of pomegranate tree is said to be an elixir. It cures women's issues, increases their fertility and stops nausea.
