Why Pomegranate is not sweet in taste?
Pomegranates can vary in taste depending on the variety and ripeness, but many have a tart flavor due to their natural acidity and low sugar content compared to other fruits. Factors such as growing conditions, soil quality, and climate can also influence the sweetness. In some cases, the presence of tannins in the seeds contributes to their astringent taste, further overshadowing any sweetness. Thus, while some pomegranates may be sweet, others are more tangy or tart.
How are pomegranates harvested?
The fruits are ripe when they have developed a distinctive color and make a metallic sound when tapped. The fruits must be picked before over maturity when they tend to crack open, particularly when rained on. The pomegranate is equal to the apple in having a long storage life. It is best maintained at a temperature of 32° to 41° F. and can be kept for a period of 7 months within this temperature range and at 80 to 85% relative humidity without shrinking or spoiling. The fruits improve in storage, becoming juicier and more flavorful.
