About Pomegranate arils

Pomegranate arils are the juicy seed coverings removed from a pomegranate fruit. They are translucent to deep red, though colour varies by variety, and each contains a small, firm edible seed. The arils are commonly eaten fresh, sprinkled over foods, or pressed for juice. Their texture combines a crisp, juicy outer portion with a crunchy seed, and their flavour is typically sweet-tart.

They may be sold fresh, refrigerated, frozen, or packaged after removal from the fruit. Those forms are not interchangeable with whole pomegranate, juice, or dried pomegranate products. The term “arils” refers to the edible juicy coverings together with their enclosed seeds, not just the seeds themselves; maturity and variety affect sweetness, acidity, colour, and seed firmness.
