Pomegranate has historically been a symbol of fertility, marriage, abundance as well as righteousness.

The pomegranate is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree growing between 5 - 8 meters (16 - 26 ft) tall. The pomegranate is widely considered to have originated in the vicinity of Iran and has been cultivated since ancient times.Today, it is widely cultivated throughout the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, the Middle East and Caucasus region, northern Africa and tropical Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia and the drier parts of southeast Asia.

In the food context, pomegranate refers to a fruit that is native to Iran but is now widely cultivated in many parts of the world, including the Mediterranean, Middle East, and California. The fruit is round and about the size of an apple, with a tough outer skin and juicy, ruby-red seeds called arils that are sweet-tart and bursting with flavor. Pomegranate seeds can be eaten raw, used as a garnish, or made into juice, syrups, sauces, or other dishes.
