Emblematic fruit of the Mediterranean, the pomegranate is the star of late summer and early autumn. The pomegranate trees, often with irregular and twisted trunks, they are present on the margins of our fields and orchards. its fruit, color cream in intense red, it is very popular in Valencian gastronomy. We usually eat it all by itself, while gnawing at it avoiding the white membranes, or grated with muscatel or, already the later ones, with some citrus juice, a combination that usually pleases a good thing. In the Valencian south, in the districts of Baix Vinalopó, Alicante and Baix Segura, there is even a protected designation of origin: the wet pomegranate from Elx.
