Yellow pomegranate (Latin Punica) - a fruit plant belonging to the Derbennikovye family.
Description
Yellow pomegranate is a relatively small shrub or tree, the height of which rarely exceeds five meters. The uneven trunks of the plant are covered with miniature thorns, and the smooth and thin branches attached to them are painted in pleasant yellowish-brownish tones.
Oblong and at the same time slightly rounded wide pomegranate leaves are always glossy and opposite. They grow in width from two to three centimeters, and in length - from two to eight centimeters. The leaves sit on short stalks and gather in colorful bunches.
The bright red flowers of the plant are collected in inflorescences, each of which has from two to five pieces. And the diameter of large rounded fruits ranges from nine to seventeen centimeters, while all the fruits are covered with a rather attractive and very thin yellow or yellow-olive hard skin. Each fruit contains a huge number of seeds, surrounded by a sweet and very juicy pulp, in which there is practically no sourness. All grains are colored in pleasant pale pink tones. By the way, outwardly, the fruits of a yellow pomegranate are very reminiscent of unripe fruits.
Where grows
The homeland of the yellow pomegranate is considered to be North Africa. It is quite widespread in the Himalayas, as well as in Dagestan, in the Transcaucasus, in Asia Minor and in distant Iran.
Application
The seeds of the yellow pomegranate fruit are most often eaten fresh. Quite often they are used as a seasoning for a wide variety of dishes. And from the juice of these unusual fruits, wonderful sweet drinks with syrups are made, as well as quite thick and rich sauces. In addition, excellent marinades are obtained from it - the enzymes contained in the juice make the meat much more tender, and its taste becomes more pleasant. And it is quite possible to freeze yellow pomegranate for a rather long period - frozen seeds are placed in tight bags and placed in the freezer.
The roots of the yellow pomegranate are used to produce granadine, a special type of sugar that boasts a surprisingly pleasant aroma. Especially often, granadine is used to obtain halva and all kinds of confectionery delights.
When purchasing a yellow pomegranate, you should carefully look at its skin - there should be no brownish specks or any other damage on it.
