Portion Notes
- A whole pomegranate weighs approximately 282g and contains 234 calories. This is roughly 2.8 times the 100g base serving.
- Pomegranate is typically eaten by scooping seeds (arils) directly or extracting them. If consuming a portion of the fruit, weighing the seeds will give you the most accurate calorie count.
- Half a pomegranate (141g) contains approximately 117 calories.
- If tracking by cup of seeds rather than weight, measure and weigh your first portion to establish a baseline—seed density varies with how densely they are packed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories are in a pomegranate seed?
Individual seeds are too small to weigh practically. Track pomegranate by the total weight of seeds consumed (in grams) or by a measured cup of seeds, then weigh that cup once to determine its calorie content.
Does pomegranate juice have the same calories as the fruit?
Pomegranate juice is more concentrated and typically contains more calories per 100ml than the whole fruit per 100g. Check the label of the specific juice product for exact values.
Can I track pomegranate by the number of seeds?
No. Seeds vary in size and water content. Weigh the edible portion (seeds only, without skin or pith) for accurate calorie tracking.
How does pomegranate compare to banana in calories?
A banana contains approximately 89 calories per 100g, compared to 83 calories in pomegranate. The difference is minimal, but banana has slightly more carbs per 100g.
Is the white pith edible?
The white pith is technically edible but bitter. Most people discard it. Only count the weight of the edible seeds (arils) when tracking calories.
