Description/Taste
Burkart Organics is a family-owned and operated farm focusing on growing high quality fruits in Dinuba, California. The farm was established in 1982 and currently tills over 65 acres in the fertile land north of Los Angeles. Pomegranates are small to medium-sized fruits, averaging 6 to 13 centimeters in diameter, and have a round appearance with faintly squared shoulders and a multi-pointed calyx at the top of the fruit. The skin is firm, leathery, tough, thick, and shiny, ranging in color from pink to dark red. Underneath the surface, thick, spongy, and fibrous white membranes encase many small, tightly compacted seeds into multiple chambers. Each seed is generally red or white, angular, and hard or soft, contributing a crunchy consistency, and is enveloped in a translucent, fleshy coating known as the aril. The translucent aril is lightly pigmented with a red or pale pink hue and contains flavorful juice. Pomegranates should feel heavy for their size, and the surface can be easily scratched when ripe. The seeds and arils are the only portions of the fruit consumed, contributing a sweet-tart taste with tangy, fruity, and mildly acidic notes combined with rhubarb, cranberry, grape, and red currant nuances.
