CALIFORNIA POMEGRANATES
Grown for ornamentation and for the delicious edible fruit it produces, the Wonderful or Red Wonderful is the most common variety, plus smaller plantings of Early Foothill. The fruit is about the size of an apple, and has a leathery, deep red to purplish red rind.

When you split the hard fruit open, a mass of red seeds in a spongy white membrane is revealed. Only the seeds, with their sweet-tart flavor and juice squirting texture, are edible.

STORAGE
Pomegranates are shipped ripe and ready to eat. They can be held at room temperature for reasonable periods of time, out of direct sun. For longer storage, refrigerate at 32˚-41˚ F. For home use, the whole fruit or seeds can be refrigerated in plastic bags or the seeds can be frozen separately.

AVAILABILITY
Fresh Pomegranates are available in September through January. Pomegranate concentrate is also available throughout the year.
