Can you still eat pomegranate blossom pattern

Pomegranate blossom patterns are scars and snowflake-like lines that appear in the skin or flesh of the pomegranate fruit, usually as a result of freezing or other environmental factors. In most cases, pomegranate blossom patterns are not harmful to human health and are edible. However, if the pomegranate has been mechanically damaged during picking, transportation or storage, resulting in ruptured skin and damaged flesh, or if the pomegranate has suffered from certain pests and diseases, the pomegranate in these cases may have quality problems and should not be consumed. In addition, for people with poor gastrointestinal function, pomegranate seeds should not be consumed regardless of whether the pomegranate has a patterned pattern or not, so as not to aggravate the burden on the stomach and intestines. Therefore, before consuming pomegranates, it is best to conduct a careful examination and assessment to ensure the safety of consumption.
