Melagrana
Pomegranate
Appears in
Published 1986
This fruit has a sculptural form unparalleled and colours of fire. The tree itself, melagrano, is insignificant with frail branches; it makes every effort to become a shrub and has to be reconciled to being a tree by frequent cutting back of shoots springing from the base.
There are several varieties: very sweet with carmine-coloured seeds; slightly sweet, with paler seeds; and acid, the seeds being almost white. The acid kind are best with fish and meat. Count Stolberg mentioned a variety in Sicily without kernels.
