The Pomegranate is a berry fruit which grows on an evergreen shrub or tree. The fruit's shape is round, often slightly edged and it reaches a weight between 200 and 500 grams. The smooth, leathery skin is 5mm thick and is orange yellow to dark red in colour when ripe. The interior consists of several fan-shaped compartments packed with seed sacs. The flesh surrounding these compartments is soft, glassy, pink or dark red, and its taste is aromatically sweet, sour and juicy. Pomegranates originally come from Persia. Today the fruit is cultivated in Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Peru, Afghanistan and Iran.
