To give you earth’s best pomegranates, small totes are used to pick the product instead of large bins (which cause more damage to the fruit in the handling process). Even though pomegranates may look impervious to damage, they are actually quite fragile and must be handled with care. The ariels directly under the leathery skin can burst and produce “off” flavors if not handled properly.

These fruits have been revered for centuries for their sweet, burst-in-your-mouth feel. Go ahead, indulge. You’ll be in great company.
