Pomegranate Each
Crack open one of our Pomegranates and you'll find hundreds of ruby-red arils packed tightly inside, each one bursting with sweet-tart juice and a satisfying crunch from the tiny seed at the centre. As part of our Fresh Fruits selection, every pomegranate is chosen for its weight and deep, leathery skin, both reliable signs of a fruit that's full of juice rather than dried out inside.

Taste Profile
Pomegranate arils are juicy and crisp, with a balance of sweetness and tartness that varies slightly aril to aril. The texture is unlike most fruit, a burst of liquid followed by a small, edible crunch, making it as much fun to eat as it is refreshing.

Storage Guide
Whole pomegranates keep well at room temperature for about a week, or up to two months in the fridge thanks to their tough outer skin. Once opened, store the arils in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 3-4 days, or freeze them for smoothies.
How to Choose a Good Pomegranate
Pick one that feels heavy for its size, this usually means more juice inside. The skin should be taut, deep red to reddish-brown, and free from soft spots or cracks.
Seasonal Availability
Pomegranates are typically at their best in the autumn and winter months.
