2. The surface should be free of damage and dark spots.
3. Do not buy pomegranates with very dry skin.
4. The fruit of a good pomegranate is heavy.
5. The pomegranate should be firm to the touch.
6. The so-called “pomegranate flower” (it stands out well against the background of the peel and resembles a crown), must be dry, without greenery.
