First it was avocados that were sold as the new power food, then blueberries and now the pomegranate is said to do you nothing but good. Apparently they’re full of vitamins and antioxidants - beneficial for the heart – and supposedly for the sex life. Over the centuries, poets and writers have extolled their beauty, their goodness and their sensuality.
Clare Jenkins talks to the academic Robert Psalter and other fans of the fruit.
Robert Palter’s book, The Duchess of Malfi’s Apricots and Other Literary Fruits, is published by South Carolina University Press
