Forgive me if this question has been asked before and I missed it . . . but exactly what "part" of the Pomegranate is safe for tortoises?

Never fed these to a tortoise.

motero said:I am confused, Pomegranate is good, bad, or just parts?
Thanks
Jacqui said:So what do pomegranates taste like?
Jacqui said:Thanks! that gives me some idea to go by. I am assuming they are ripe when they reach the color of the one in the picture with Tex? Do you then remove the skin? the seed (or seeds)? or eat it all?
OurZoo said:Jacqui,
So I'm guessing pomegranates are not popular in New Hampshire?
Checkout http://pomegranates.org good info on removing and preparing seeds - makes wonderful jelly!

I don't know, I am from Nebraska.
Tom said:I've got a pomegranate tree on my ranch. I break them open and just eat the inside and spit out the seeds. Very messy and a lot of work for a little food, but tasty. Mine usually aren't ripe until mid-September.
Now my plum tree is in full production too. Its a little tree, but I still can't give them away fast enough. Everyone I know has bags full of plums. Too bad they aren't good for my tortoise species. I might have to cut the pits out and give them a little for a treat. My roaches sure like them.
