What does a rotten pomegranate look like?

1. What is it like?

1. If the food has just started to go bad, the symptoms will not be too obvious, so you need to make a careful judgment to avoid getting an upset stomach from eating the bad food.

2. If a pomegranate is no longer healthy, you can usually tell by observing its skin. It will not be as fresh as a normal pomegranate. On the contrary, the color will be darker and gradually deepen into black patches, indicating that the flesh in that patch is seriously rotten.

3. In addition, you can also judge by the feel. Gently pinch it with your hand. If it feels soft, it may be broken or about to break. You can also smell it. Generally, the smell of rotten pomegranates is quite pungent, unlike the fresh fragrance of good ones.

2. How to choose a good one

1. Generally speaking, the pomegranate ripening season is from September to October every year. It is wise and good to buy it at this time. The flesh is fresh and tastes very good.

2. You can weigh it with your hand. Generally, healthy ones are heavier because they are full of water and have full grains.

3. It also depends on the color. Generally, bright colors are mostly good, but it is hard to say about dull colors.
