Which should I pick?

For arils, juice, and garnishes, Wonderful is the standard supermarket variety: large, deep red, and reliably juicy. No Wonderful? Angel Red ripens earlier with soft seeds, good for juicing. Reach for Eversweet when you want a milder, low-acid aril for fresh eating and salads.

How much does a medium pomegranate weigh?
A medium pomegranate weighs about 280 g, with a small one around 200 g and a large one near 380 g. That range changes the weight of any recipe that counts pomegranates by the piece, so set the size selector to match what you actually have before trusting a cup or gram figure.
How much does an average pomegranate weigh?
An average pomegranate is the same as a medium one: about 280 g. A small pomegranate is lighter at around 200 g and a large one heavier at about 380 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts pomegranates by the piece rather than by weight.
Which pomegranate variety should I use?
For arils, juice, and garnishes, Wonderful is the standard supermarket variety: large, deep red, and reliably juicy. No Wonderful? Angel Red ripens earlier with soft seeds, good for juicing. Reach for Eversweet when you want a milder, low-acid aril for fresh eating and salads.
How much does a large pomegranate weigh?
A large pomegranate weighs about 380 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 280 g or a small one at 200 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger pomegranates you actually have on the counter.
