Pomegranates

The Agricoreasia is proud to offer premium pomegranates sourced from Maharashtra are renowned for their exceptional quality and distinctive taste, making them a prized fruit both within India and internationally. Maharashtra, particularly the regions of Pune, Nashik, and Solapur, is well-suited for pomegranate cultivation due to its favorable climate and soil conditions.


Characteristics and Flavor: Maharashtrian pomegranates are celebrated for their vibrant color, which ranges from deep red to rich pink. The fruit is known for its juicy, ruby-red arils, or seeds, which are encased in a leathery, reddish-brown skin. The arils are both sweet and tangy, offering a burst of refreshing flavor with each bite. The balance of sweetness and acidity makes these pomegranates ideal for eating fresh or using in a variety of culinary applications.


Cultivation and Harvesting: The pomegranate orchards in Maharashtra benefit from the region's semi-arid climate and well-drained soil, which are ideal for growing high-quality pomegranates. The region experiences hot, dry summers and relatively mild winters, conditions that help the fruit develop its rich color and intense flavor. Farmers use advanced cultivation techniques and sustainable practices to ensure the best possible yield and fruit quality.


Harvesting typically occurs between October and February, when the fruit reaches its peak ripeness. Pomegranates are carefully hand-picked to avoid damaging the delicate arils inside. The harvested fruit is then sorted and graded to ensure that only the best-quality pomegranates reach the market.

​
