Pomegranate
One of the most beautiful fruits, inside and out. Revered in Jewish tradition as one of
the seven fruits enumerated in the Torah and the Christian Old Testament, as well as the Qur’an which says they grow in the gardens of paradise. Said by some to be the original “forbidden fruit” of the Bible, rather than the apple.

U granatu
U granatu è bellu sia ri fora ca di rintra. Pi l’ebrei è ‘mpurtanti comu pi nuatri cristiani, a stessa cosa vali pi chiddi chi cridinu a Maumettu, picchì ricinu ca criscia ‘nparaddisu.
Certuni riçinu ca putissi essiri lu “fruttu” pruibitu chi si manciaru Adamu e Eva inveci ru pumu.

La melagrana
Uno dei frutti più belli, dentro e fuori. Riverito nella tradizione Ebraica come uno
dei sette frutti elencato nel Torah e nel Vecchio Testamento cristiano, al tempo stesso
riconosciuto dal Corano come un frutto che cresce nel giardino del Paradiso. Citato da
alcuni per essere l’originale “frutto proibito” della Bibbia invece che la mela.
