Today is September 11, 2021 The lunar calendar is August 5th. According to the custom, in the countryside, it is necessary to give gifts to newly married girls, and gifts are inseparable from pomegranates. Whenever this time comes, families with newly married people will buy the largest and best pomegranate as a gift.
Although the pomegranates in the first few days of August can be eaten, they are not very ripe, the seeds of the pomegranates are half red and half white, and they are not particularly sweet to eat, only on August 15, or after a longer period of frost, the pomegranates picked are the most delicious, the pomegranate seeds have become dark red, the color is particularly good-looking, and the skin has become light red.
There are three kinds of pomegranates I have seen at the moment, one is red seed red with red skin, and the taste is sweet. The skin is light green, the seeds are red, and the taste is sweet and sour. There is also a kind of red seedless pomegranate, that is to say, seedless, this pomegranate is suitable for the elderly to eat, very sweet.
