Sweet

Sweet, sometimes sold as Sweet Pomegranate, is a variety selected for its notably high sugar and low acidity, giving it a mild, sweet flavor even before the fruit is fully ripe. This makes it appealing to those who find classic tart pomegranates too sharp, and it is a favorite with children. The fruit is medium sized with pinkish-red skin and pink arils. It tends to be productive and bears at a young age. Because the flavor is pleasant even when slightly underripe, Sweet is forgiving in cooler areas where full ripening can be difficult, and it is a common home-garden selection.
