What is this close-up picture? (WotsThat: pomegranate seeds)

Question

What object is shown in this zoomed-in close-up photo?

Accepted Answer

pomegranate seeds. Pomegranate seeds are technically called arils, and they're the only part of the fruit most people eat, yet the seed inside each aril is so hard that it can actually damage your teeth if you bite down on it with full force. The arils themselves are prized partly because they contain tannins that give them a slightly astringent, mouth-puckering quality, which is why some cultures have traditionally used pomegranate juice as a natural remedy for digestive issues.
