What Is an Aril?
This recipe includes pomegranate arils as an optional ingredient. While you may not have known them as “arils,” you are probably familiar with them. The edible parts of pomegranate are actually the individual, sweet, tart, fleshy seed coverings. Often referred to as seeds, the seed coating, the arils, is the source of pomegranate’s wonderful flavor. Simply Recipes has one of the best guides for “How to Cut and De-Seed a Pomegranate.” You can also purchase ready-to-eat arils.
