Most welcome, Natie. Footloose, wasn’t aware of the contraindications, either – but a glass or two a few times a year wouldn’t hurt, would it? ;-)

Uh oh, EJ, contraindicated against ace inhibitors and statins your link says…who among us modern day creatures do not take one or both?

Thanks for that link, Ej. Very informative, esp the precautions.

MM, in a local grocery here, NJ, fresh orange juice cost $5.00. In an Asian farmers’ market, $2.50

The first time I had this fresh juice was during a trip to Dubai. I liked it so much that I kept ordering it afterwards. One of my companions, an Indian, warned me not to drink it too often because of its after-effects. ;-) Here’s another warning from the University of Maryland: https://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/herb/pomegranate

Footloose, I had my first dried persimmon last night and it was delicious. If I had more luggage allowance I would have a balikbayan box full of dried persimmons, kiwis (originally grown in these parts before New Zealand got a hold of them), several varieties of raisins/sultanas, and the nuts are amazing as well…

The Kid knew then you have a special liking for pomegranates that’s why she brought you back some on her return from her China trip. My favourite fruit from that part of the world (China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea) is persimmon, a fruit you do not particularly like but you simply have to taste the dried ones from Japan, you’ll be hooked.
