They are in all of the supermarkets in Houston now. As far as I can remember
they are available year around as they can be imported from South America
when they are out of season in the US.

Oh well....I'm writing from NH, and sometimes it seems that we are at the
bottom of the food distribution chain.......I've never seen them out of
season up here......

My girlfriend and I were watching LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE last night and in
one of the last scenes where they are making the Chiles en nogada, she says
"those pomegranates are rather pale", I said that they look like the ones
that grew in S Texas when I was a kid (close to where the fillum was made
and took place).. she was a teenager in S California (Redlands) and I guess
there's a different variety out there that get redder (and is the type one
finds in the stores now).
