Storage & shelf life
Upon receipt, check your pomegranates for bruises or minor damage and consume these fruits first. If you find any mould, remove the affected fruits immediately to prevent it from spreading. Pomegranates can be stored for up to four weeks in a refrigerator or cellar at 4 to 6°C. The fruits may shrivel slightly, but the thick skin keeps the inside juicy and fresh.
