1, smooth and shiny skin: Pomegranate with smooth and shiny skin is usually fresher than pomegranate with rough and dull skin. This is because as the fruit matures, the skin of pomegranate will become smoother and more shiny. In addition, the smooth peel can also protect the fruit from external pollution and bacterial invasion, thus ensuring the quality and taste of the fruit.
2. Round: Generally speaking, round pomegranate is sweeter than flat pomegranate. This is because the fruit grains in round pomegranate are arranged more closely, and the sugar is easier to concentrate together, so the taste is sweeter.
3. Bright skin color: The skin color of pomegranate can reflect its inherent maturity. The brighter the pomegranate, the higher the sugar and the sweeter the taste. So choosing pomegranate with bright colors is usually sweeter.
Preservation method of pomegranate
1. Avoid direct sunlight: pomegranate belongs to berry fruit. Direct sunlight can cause water evaporation, dry skin and hardening skin. Therefore, pomegranate should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight.
2. Keep dry: The skin of pomegranate contains a lot of water. If left in a humid environment for a long time, it will lead to mildew on the epidermis and deterioration of the pulp. So keep pomegranate dry and avoid putting it in a damp place.
3, do not peel prematurely: the epidermis of pomegranate has a certain protective effect, which can prevent bacteria from invading the pulp. If peeled prematurely, the pulp will be exposed to the air and easily contaminated by bacteria. Therefore, you should wait until you eat it before peeling it.
