When choosing a pomegranate in a store or at the market, you should not focus on the color of the peel.
We tell you what you should pay attention to when buying a garnet.
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.
