We don&rsquo;t want them, so the first step is to pat the arils dry.<\/li><li><strong>Pre-freeze.<\/strong>&nbsp;Grab a cookie sheet and line it with a silicone mat (if you have one). Lay all the seeds on it in a single layer so that they hardy touch one another. Put the tray in the freezer until the seeds freeze.<\/li><li><strong>Transfer for long-term freezing.<\/strong>&nbsp;Move the frozen seeds into a container or a freezer bag, and seal it tightly. Label it if you like, and put it into the freezer for long-term storage.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole process shouldn&rsquo;t take more than 10 to 15 minutes. Also, it allows you to grab as many seeds as you need, whenever you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Pomegranate seeds in a glass bowl\" class=\"wp-image-1955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-600x400.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Pomegranate seeds in a glass bowl\" class=\"wp-image-1955 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-600x400.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl.jpg.webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pomegranate-seeds-in-glass-bowl.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption>Pomegranate seeds in a glass bowl<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-tell-if-a-pomegranate-has-gone-bad\">How To Tell If a Pomegranate Has Gone Bad?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Before we talk about pomegranates spoiling, let&rsquo;s briefly mention ripeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you should know that&nbsp;<strong>pomegranates don&rsquo;t ripen after being harvested<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a href=\"#refs\">[UOC]<\/a>). It&rsquo;s not like with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/how-to-store-mangoes\/\">mangos<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/can-avocado-go-bad\/\">avocados<\/a>, which you sometimes need to ripen first. Because of that, if your pomegranates aren&rsquo;t ripe, they never will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You tell ripe from unripe pomegranates by shape.<\/strong>&nbsp;Unripe ones are round, like an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/how-long-do-apples-last\/\">apple<\/a>, while ripe ones have their sides flattened (look at the photo from above that I did).
