Get in touch on Whatsapp now:

Pomegranates are prized for their sweet-tart flavor, vibrant red seeds (arils), and powerful health benefits. But when is the best time to buy them? Pomegranates have a seasonal harvest, which varies depending on the country of origin.

In this article, we’ll explore pomegranate season worldwide, the best times to buy them, and how to store them for maximum freshness.


1. When Is Pomegranate Season?

The peak season for fresh pomegranates typically falls between September and February in the Northern Hemisphere, while countries in the Southern Hemisphere harvest them from March to May.

Pomegranate Season by Region

Region Peak Season
United States (California, Arizona) September – December
Mediterranean (Spain, Turkey, Greece, Italy) September – February
Middle East (Iran, Israel, India) September – March
South America (Peru, Chile, Argentina) March – May
Africa (South Africa, Egypt, Morocco) March – June
Australia & New Zealand March – May

2. Where Are Pomegranates Grown?

Pomegranates thrive in warm, dry climates and are primarily grown in:

🌍 United States: California leads U.S. production, particularly in the San Joaquin Valley.
🌍 Spain & Turkey: Major suppliers to European markets.
🌍 India & Iran: Among the largest producers globally.
🌍 South Africa & Chile: Key exporters during the Southern Hemisphere season.

If you want fresh, in-season pomegranates, check their country of origin at your local grocery store.


3. How to Buy & Store Pomegranates

Choosing the Best Pomegranates:

  • Look for deep red, heavy fruits with firm, unbroken skin.
  • Ripe pomegranates feel dense and have a slight give when pressed.

How to Store Pomegranates:

  • Whole pomegranates last 2-3 weeks at room temperature and up to 2 months in the fridge.
  • Pomegranate seeds (arils) last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze pomegranate arils for up to 6 months for long-term storage.

4. Health Benefits of Pomegranates

Pomegranates are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Benefits include:

Boosts heart health by lowering blood pressure.
Rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals.
Supports digestion with fiber.
Enhances immunity due to vitamin C content.


5. Conclusion

Pomegranate season varies by region, but the best time to buy fresh pomegranates is typically from September to February in the Northern Hemisphere and March to May in the Southern Hemisphere. If you want premium-quality pomegranates in bulk, sourcing from the right country at the right time is essential.
