How to choose a delicious pomegranate

The color of the peel can vary significantly between varieties, so you shouldn’t rely on it.

You need to pay attention to the integrity of the peel: there should be no cracks, dents, or stains.

A ripe pomegranate has a thin but not dry skin that is shiny and fits tightly around the grains.

The flower at the end of the fruit should be dried, open and a different color.

The flower of a ripe fruit is lighter. If the flower and the peel are the same color, the pomegranate is not ripe.

In addition, the garnet should be heavy, hard and produce a ringing sound when tapped.
