Pomegranate selection:
Yellow, not red. There are many varieties of pomegranate, which are divided into red and yellow according to the epidermis, and the yellow variety is generally sweet. Sweet pomegranate skin has rough color and short and wide leaves; Most sour pomegranates have bright skins and long and narrow leaves.
Square, not round. When many people buy pomegranates, their first reaction is to ask for those pomegranates that look round and smooth. In fact, square and angular pomegranates are better. The angular shape shows that it is mature, full of seeds and sweeter to eat. If the pomegranate is round and difficult to pinch, it means it is not mature yet.
Heavy, not light. Generally, two pomegranates of the same size are relatively heavy in water, juicy and full in seeds.
Open your mouth, don't open your mouth. Pay attention to the crack at the bottom of pomegranate when you buy it. The normal and mature pomegranate cracks will be "chrysanthemum"-shaped. If the crack can't be closed, it means that pomegranate is not fully mature.
Full and not slack. Fresh pomegranate, with bright skin and tight flesh, and dark spots on loose skin may be caused by long storage time. In addition, the epidermis is not scratched, and the branches and leaves are relatively fresh.
