Ambrosia is a pomegranate known for producing exceptionally large fruit, often described as up to three times the size of a Wonderful pomegranate. It is grown in California and valued for its impressive size combined with a pleasant flavor. The rind is pale pink to red, and the arils are a purple-red with a sweet-tart taste. Ambrosia ripens in the mid to late season and makes a showy addition to the home orchard due to the sheer scale of its fruit. While not as commercially dominant as Wonderful, it has a following among home growers and specialty markets who prize the large, attractive fruit for fresh eating and juicing.
