How can I tell when a pomegranate is ripe?
assistant
To tell if a pomegranate is ripe, look for a few signs. First, the skin should be glossy and smooth with no blemishes. Second, the fruit should have a sweet fragrance that intensifies as it ripens. Third, the seeds inside the fruit should be visible through the thin skin. Lastly, gently squeeze the fruit; if it feels soft and yields to gentle pressure, then it's ready to eat!
