Pomegranate noun 1.

A spherical fruit with a tough golden-orange outer skin and sweet red gelatinous flesh containing many seeds.

2.

The tree that bears the pomegranate, native to North Africa and western Asia.

The pomegranate is a symbol of many things including prosperity, death and eternal life, marriage, abundance, life and rebirth, generosity, and even women’s fertility. It seems as though every aspect of this fruit has some sort of meaning, whether it’s the juice, the seeds, the skin, or simply the a­ ppearance of the fruit itself.
