When you peel the pomegranate and remove its grains, they come in direct contact with air and moisture. This can end their freshness quickly and if not stored properly, they can also deteriorate quickly. Many people keep pomegranate seeds in a plate or open bowl and keep it in the fridge, which is a big mistake. By doing this, pomegranate seeds not only start drying, but their taste and nutrition also starts to end gradually.

If you want to store pomegranate seeds in the fridge, first fill them in an airtight container. Glass or BPA free plastic box is best for this. Close this compartment well and keep it in the fridge. In this way pomegranate seeds can remain fresh for 2 to 3 days. Keep in mind that after removing them from the fridge every time, stop immediately so that the moisture does not go inside.

Apart from this, try to remove as many pomegranate seeds and use freshly. The habit of peeling beforehand is only fine when you have a shortage of time or to cook in a hurry. If you want to store pomegranate for a long time, then you can also deep freeze its grains. For this, first clean the grains and dry, then spread it on a tray and freeze and store it in a zip lock bag. This will not spoil the grains for 1 month.

The thing to note is that pomegranate seeds should not be kept in the fridge for long, because due to the moisture present in it, the risk of bacteria can increase in them. If the color starts to fade in the grains or there is a strange smell, do not consume them. So the next time you peel pomegranate, before storing it, think how long it has to be used. The properly stored grains not only maintain freshness, but are also completely beneficial for health. Just a little caution, and your pomegranate will always remain delicious and fresh.
