The pomegranate /ˈpɒmɨɡrænɨt/, botanical name Punica granatum, is a fruit-bearing deciduous
shrub or small tree growing between 5--8 meters (16--26 ft) tall.
The pomegranate is widely considered to have originated in Iran and has been cultivated
since ancient times. Today, it is widely cultivated throughout the Mediterranean region of southern
Europe, the Middle East and Caucasus region, northern Africa and tropical Africa, the Indian
subcontinent, Central Asia and the drier parts of southeast Asia. Introduced into Latin America
and California by Spanish settlers in 1769, pomegranate is also cultivated in parts of
California and Arizona. In the Northern Hemisphere, the fruit is typically
in season from September to February. In the Southern Hemisphere, the pomegranate is in
season from March to May. The pomegranate has been mentioned in many
ancient texts, notably in Babylonian texts, the Book of Exodus, the Homeric Hymns and
the Quran. In recent years, it has become more common in the commercial markets of North
America and
the Western Hemisphere. Pomegranates are used in cooking, baking,
juices, smoothies and alcoholic beverages, such as martinis and wine.
