Pomegranate
Pomegranates are a fruit with a tough, inedible outer rind that holds hundreds of juicy, edible, and nutrient-packed seeds called arils. These crimson-colored arils offer a unique balance of sweet and tart flavor.

Storage Tips
Store whole pomegranates in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; they last up to 1–2 weeks at room temperature.
Refrigerate whole fruits to extend freshness for up to 1–2 months.
Keep arils (seeds) in an airtight container in the refrigerator; consume within 5–7 days.
For longer shelf life, freeze arils in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container (lasts up to 12 months).
Avoid storing near ethylene-producing fruits (like bananas and apples) to prevent early spoilage.
