Pomegranate

Also called: Rummaan (Soomaali) · Grenade (Français) · رمان (العربية)

What to look for

A good pomegranate feels heavy, with firm, deep-coloured skin and a slightly angular rather than perfectly round shape. Avoid soft spots or wet cracks. Tubs of ready seeds should look plump and glossy, not dry or leaking.
