The common name for the seeds of a pomegranate is "arils." These juicy, ruby-red seeds are the edible part of the fruit and are found within the thick, leathery skin. Each pomegranate can contain hundreds to thousands of arils, which are packed with a tart-sweet flavor and are often enjoyed fresh, juiced, or used in cooking. Arils are also nutritious, providing vitamins like C and K, as well as antioxidants. Their vibrant color and burst of flavor make them a popular addition to salads, desserts, and various dishes around the globe.
