Garnet is a divine and useful fruit. And this is not because it contains a lot of useful vitamins and trace elements, but because using regular pomegranate, you can not only heal your health, but also get rid of some diseases, as well as enjoy its piquant taste. But today we will talk about how to choose a delicious garnet and its use.
Choose a grenade
To choose a pomegranate without seeing its seeds is quite difficult, so coming to the market for a purchase, it would be more correct to ask the seller to cut the fruit and eat a couple of grains. By the way, now sellers themselves offer such a service. If you buy a grenade in the store, you should know some points that will help in choosing a grenade.
Choose a garnet:
- In appearance. All medicinal useful features of pomegranate concern only to grenades ripened on native tree. The fact is that if a pomegranate was torn in green, then its goodness and usefulness simply can not be a question: grenades do not ripen at home like other fruits. Therefore, before you buy a fruit, pay attention to the color of the peel. It should be dark red (a shade of orange is allowed) with uniform color throughout the fetus. This just indicates the ripeness of the fruit, and not languishing in a dark box.
- On the skin. It is also important to look at the very skin of the fruit, which should be dry and slightly wooden. Dry is a loose concept. For example, if a pomegranate is lying for a long time, it will dry up, with only one exception, seeds will dry up. But in this case, dryness means a small drying of the peel, which allows you to see under a light outline of the fruit seeds.
- By the flower. Be sure to get accustomed to the "crown" of the pomegranate, that is, to the flower. It should not have fragments of green color and it should be well dried.
- Choose a delicious fruit you can and to the touch. Ripe pomegranate should be the size of a large orange, and by weight - heavy for its size. Also, we need to pay attention to the outline of the "ribs" of fruit that divide the garnet into segments.
- By the seeds. The grains of the ripe pomegranate are sweet, fairly large and juicy. By color, they can be different - from pink-transparent to saturated red. This is due to the variety of pomegranate and the birthplace of the cultivation. Thus, Turkish garnets have white-pink grains, and Uzbek ones have blood-red ones.
Pomegranate is very valuable. Usefulness, refinement of taste, as well as a wide range of applications prove his undeniable advantage in wearing the title of real king of the fruit world.
