<human>: How can I tell when a pomegranate is ripe?
<bot>: To determine if a pomegranate is ripe, you should check the color of the skin. If it's deep red or yellow-orange in color, it's likely to be ripe. You can also give it a gentle squeeze and feel for give in the skin. If it yields slightly, it may be ready to harvest. Additionally, look for a sweet aroma coming from the stem end.
