Pomegranate is rich in nutrients and sweet in taste, making it a salty fruit for all ages. It's pomegranate season, and many people don't know how to pick it, remember 5 points, and pick out the best pomegranate.
1, look at the color. Good pomegranates are bright red in color and full in color, and the orange or yellow parts are only dotted with stars. If the whole pomegranate is mostly orange or yellow, or a piece of yellow, a piece of red, it is likely to be picked in advance to ripen, bought back and peeled, there will be a lot of white seeds in it. If the color is red and black, it is not OK, this pomegranate is generally sweet, but also a little bitter.
2, look at the freshness. The skin of a good pomegranate is smooth and delicate, and with a gentle press, it seems to be able to pinch out the water. If the skin is dying, it must be taken off for too long, it is not fresh, and I am afraid that there is a rotten part in it.
3. Weight. Pick up two pomegranates of equal size and weigh them together in your hands to see which is heavier, and the generally heavy pomegranates will have more moisture, will be fresher, and taste better.
4, look at the opening. Normally growing mature pomegranates are naturally lobed, with openings in the center of the bottom of the pomegranate, which is rounded and neat and has no long crookedness. If it is unnatural opening and looks very deformed, it may be that the pomegranate growth environment is not good, and the fruit grains will not be so full, affecting the taste. If the chrysanthemum part is not completely cracked, it means that it is picked in advance, the pomegranate is not yet ripe, and the pomegranate taste is very light, or there is a sour and astringent taste.
5. Look at the wound. Pomegranate transport process is not well preserved, will cause bruising, scratching, if there is a wound on the epidermis, or indentation, or a large scar, do not buy, the injured pomegranate will accelerate decay, once the seed is crushed, decay, it can no longer be eaten.
