I recently purchased a whole case of pomegranates, and it's getting hard to stand after doing 10 in a day, so can I safely freeze them whole to preserve the quality of the fruit?

1I wouldn’t - but that’s just a gut feeling. What are you doing with them?– Stephie ♦Nov 7, 2020 at 5:58

I plan to use them like other berries I freeze.– a coderNov 7, 2020 at 16:03

1Soft fruits and vegetables don't withstand freezing very well, unless you plan to somehow cook them afterwards, or incorporate them as part of other dish– Duarte Farrajota RamosNov 8, 2020 at 0:15

You could have tried freezing one overnight to check.– JuliaNov 10, 2020 at 5:35

You cannot freeze them whole; the large fruit pod will turn into a disgusting mush when you thaw it.
You can, however, freeze the pips quite well, and they are the part you eat anyway.

You might wanna consider actually cutting one of these pomegranates open before you go further with this? It sounds like You've never eaten one before. Nov 11, 2020 at 0:42

I've eaten several, and have 3 that still weren't cleaned yet which I'll treat as a treat over the next 2 weeks.– a coderNov 11, 2020 at 5:15
