Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for pomegranates, general (HB66: optimum temperature varies by cultivar, production area and postharvest treatment). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Humidity control is critical because the skin dries out readily at low humidity, giving hard, darkened rinds that reduce marketability. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
