About Pomegranates

• Pomegranates are the size of a large orange and have smooth leathery skin ranging from red to yellow-pink
• Each fruit contains masses of edible seeds individually covered by a delicious translucent, juicy, red pulp
• They are fragrant, tasty and give you vitamin C

Selecting

Fruits should be heavy for their size and plump, as if bursting, with a slightly soft crown and shiny skin.

Storing

You can refrigerate a pomegranate for up to two months or store it in a cool, dark place for up to a month.

Eating

It’s not easy, but definitely worth it! After peeling the skin, cut the fruit in half and scoop away the seeds in their pulp (the membrane separating them is bitter and should not be eaten). You can also garnish desserts with clusters of seed.
