Pomegranate

Pomegranate is the fruit of the pomegranate tree with the scientific name Punica granatum of the Lythraceae family. Currently, the pomegranate producing countries are Iran, Uzbekistan and Spain. Pomegranates that are soft, thick-skinned, black-seeded, and late-ripening are more suitable for cold storage and export. In recent years, Iran has emerged as a global leader in pomegranate production and export. Over 150,000 tons of Iranian pomegranates find their way to European countries. These vibrant fruits grace the tables of families from Spain to Sweden, adding a burst of color and flavor to their meals. Iran’s pomegranates also journey to markets in Russia, Ukraine, Arab countries, and Central Asia. Their arrival is eagerly awaited by consumers who appreciate their juicy arils and health benefits.
