Pomegranate

A pomegranate is a round, reddish fruit with a tough, leathery skin and a crown-like stem end. Inside, it contains hundreds of jewel-like seeds called arils, each surrounded by a juicy, sweet-tart pulp and encased in a bitter, white membrane.

The flavor of pomegranate arils is bright, tangy, and refreshing, often balancing sweetness with acidity. They can be eaten fresh, juiced, or used as a garnish in salads, desserts, savory dishes, and beverages.

Pomegranates are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and powerful antioxidants—particularly polyphenols like punicalagins. Known for both culinary and symbolic value, they are enjoyed worldwide for their vibrant taste, health benefits, and striking appearance.
