Pomegranate’s name comes from the Latin for “fruit of many seeds” and is also sometimes referred to as the Anar fruit. Stepped in history and myth it is also one of the most ancient fruit trees to be domesticated, having been grown in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
The nearly round, 2-1/2 to 5 in. wide fruit is crowned at the base by the prominent calyx. The tough, leathery skin is typically yellow overlaid with light or deep pink or rich red. The interior is split into compartments packed with sacs (or arils) filled with sweetly acid, juicy, red pulp.

In each sac there is one angular, soft or hard seed surrounded by the rubi red pomegranate juice.
Uses

The pomegranate is essentially used as a table-fruit, its juice is regarded as a delicacy and is made into juice drinks. It is also used in preparing syrups, ice creams, jellies and marmalades.
