Punica granatum, commonly known as the pomegranate, is a fruit-bearing shrub or small tree native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia. It typically grows between 5 to 10 meters tall and produces vibrant red flowers. The fruit is round, with a tough outer skin and filled with juicy seeds, known as arils, which are rich in antioxidants. Pomegranates thrive in warm, dry climates and are cultivated in many countries, including Iran, India, and Spain. The fruit is not only enjoyed for its sweet-tart flavor but is also valued for its health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and potential heart health support.
