Pomegranate varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common pomegranate varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Wonderful | Arils, juice, and garnish: large, deep red, and juicy, the supermarket standard. |
| Angel Red | Juicing: early-ripening with abundant juice and soft seeds. |
| Eversweet | Fresh eating and salads: mild, low-acid arils with pale juice. |
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.
