The mollar pomegranate is the most popular variety in Spain. It is distinguished by its sweetness but especially by its seeds which are tender.
Look for a pomegranate that is heavy for its size. Its bark should be smooth and shiny, and scars on the bark don't affect quality.
Pomegranate seeds are delicious on their own as a snack, but also added to salads, grits and desserts.
Thanks to its hard and resistant rind, the pomegranate can be stored for several months in the refrigerator. The seeds can be stored for 3 days in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
