Cold party food idea with winter pomegranate arils, cheese and crackers ilonaspassion.com I @ilonaspassion

Pomegranate is very healthy fruit and once the winter comes I always remember to buy it. As a result, I use it in my desserts and salads very often. There are so many benefits of pomegranate seeds. They are very rich in vitamin C, Vitamin K, fiber and potassium. This is one of the best fruit to fight inflammation. Moreover, these little seeds contain antioxidants and they can protect cells from damage.

How to Eat a Pomegranate

First of all, cut pomegranate into 4 pieces starting from the top. Next scoop out the arils from inside. I always dip the seeds to the water and wash them. That way it is easier to remove the membrane from the pomegranate arils. Moreover, entire pomegranate seeds are OK to eat as a whole. They can be eaten alone or add them to the yogurt, cereals, oatmeal etc. In addition, pomegranate seeds can be also used for juicing and smoothie.

Tips to make Pomegranate Seeds Appetizer

  • Buy any kind of crackers or digestive sweeter cookies. Either way will work fine.
  • Choose any kind of cream cheese. However, the softer the better.
  • Spread cream cheese on crackers just before the party. The crackers are becoming softer over time.

    These are great for a Christmas party! I love servings lots of finger foods and small plates for everyone to nosh on while they socialize. I would add a sprinkle of basil to give it a red and green Christmas feel!
