pomegranate noun [ C ] 

US /ˈpɑː.məˌɡræn.ɪt/ UK /ˈpɒm.ɪˌɡræn.ɪt/ 

The fruit of the tree Punica granatum, a large many-celled berry with a leathery yellow, orange, or red rind, a persistent calyx, and numerous seeds that are each surrounded by an acid-sweet pink or red pulp. Also figurative.

The pomegranate has been regarded variously as a symbol of resurrection, fertility, plenty, unity, and chastity, and was associated in classical mythology with Proserpina (Persephone) who returned to earth every spring. The juice is used to make grenadine syrup, and the rind was used formerly in medicine, tanning, and dyeing.
