The pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a round fruit with a thick, leathery skin ranging in color from deep red to orange-yellow. Inside, it contains hundreds of juicy, ruby-red arils (seed casings) filled with sweet-tart juice and a small, crunchy seed at the center. Native to the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, the pomegranate is celebrated for its vibrant flavor, aesthetic appeal, and cultural significance.
