- Antioxidants: Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which help fight oxidative stress and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
- Vitamin C: Pomegranate is a good source of vitamin C, which is essential for the immune system, skin health and collagen formation.
- Vitamin K: Contains vitamin K, which is important for blood clotting and bone health.
- Folic acid: Pomegranate is a source of folic acid, which is essential for early fetal development during pregnancy.
- Anti-inflammatory: The anti-inflammatory compounds present in pomegranate can help reduce inflammation in the body, which is beneficial for overall health.

Season calendar
The pomegranate season in Tenerife usually follows a rough pattern that runs from late summer to early winter:
- End of August – September: The season begins with some early varieties of pomegranates.
- October – November: This is the main harvest period for most pomegranate varieties in Tenerife. During these months, you will find a wide variety of pomegranates available on the market. It is the ideal time to enjoy fresh and juicy pomegranates.
- December: As winter progresses, the availability of pomegranates tends to decrease. Although you can still find some pomegranates in December, the selection may be more limited.
- January: The pomegranate season usually comes to an end in Tenerife during this month. Stock may be running low.
It is important to remember that exact dates may vary depending on the year and local weather conditions.
Selection tips
When selecting pomegranates, it is important to choose fruits that are in good condition and are ripe. Here are some tips for selecting the best pomegranates:
- Weight and density: Choose grenades that feel heavy for their size. Density is an indication that the fruit is full of juice and is more likely to be ripe and juicy.
- Skin Color: Look for pomegranates with skin that is vibrant and has a deep, uniform color.
- Texture: The skin of the pomegranate should feel smooth and wrinkle-free. If the skin is cracked or wrinkled, the fruit may be overripe or overdried.
- Consistency: It should feel firm to the touch, but not too hard. Gently press the pomegranate with your fingers to make sure it is not soft or has any soft areas, which could indicate that it is stale.
- Flat Bottom: Look at the bottom of the pomegranate. It should have a flat and stable part, which makes it easy to store in an upright position.
- Sound of the skin: When you gently tap your fingers on the skin of the pomegranate, you should hear a metallic sound. This may indicate that the fruit is ripe and juicy inside.
- Skin free of cuts or punctures: Avoid pomegranates with cuts, bruises or punctures in the skin, as these may be signs of damage or deterioration.
By following these selection tips, you will be able to choose pomegranates that are at their optimal ripeness and enjoy their delicious flavor and texture.
Conservation
To preserve pomegranates at home, you can follow these tips:
- Store them in a cool, dry place at room temperature for several days.
- Optionally, refrigerate them at 5-7°C in the vegetable drawer.
- Do not stack them to avoid skin damage.
- Check them regularly and remove any that are in poor condition.
- If you refrigerate them, use perforated paper bags to control humidity.
- Wash before consuming.
These tips will help you keep pomegranates fresh and tasty in your home.
