Native to Iran, the pomegranate tree, a member of the Lythraceae family, grows in hedges in the Mediterranean region. It is a self-fertilising fruit tree that can grow up to 6m tall and live for 200 years.
FEATURES
What does it look like?
Thus, for 4000 years, on the shores of the Mediterranean, the pomegranate has exploded in ruby-coloured bursts. Tasty and abundant, from the sweet pulp of its seeds to its shell, the berry provides the benefits of a juice rich in antioxidants.
Recognisable by its beige-grey bark and bright red flowers, only 1/3 of them bear fruit, the pomegranate: yellow, red or orange berries.
A few words from our expert

Pomegranate syrup was once made exclusively from the fruit on the Caribbean island of Grenada, and it gave its sweet flavour and red colour to the Tequila Sunrise and several other cocktails. Hardly surprising when you think of island sunsets.
