Israeli Innovation: Pomegranate Cultivation


On Rosh Hashana, Jews eat pomegranates as a symbol of abundance and mitzvot, hoping our merits will be as numerous as the seeds. The pomegranate is also one of the seven species of the Land of Israel mentioned in the Bible, linking our holiday tables today with the fruits of our ancestors.

In modern Israel, this tradition meets science. Researchers and farmers have developed new varieties that are sweeter, longer lasting, and richer in antioxidants. Often called a “super fruit,” the pomegranate is valued worldwide for its health benefits. Israel is now a global leader in pomegranate cultivation and exports, turning an ancient fruit into a modern success story.
