Fruit of Sa’ada: Green-shelled pomegranate

“Though people swear by the sweet soft pink seeds of the green-skinned pomegranate that is indigenous to Saada.”

Majida Rashid

Like the outlandish Dragon-blood tree on Socotra Island, this speciment of pomegranate too is unique to Yemen. Only the special compounds of Yemeni soil create beauty … beyond the reach of the West.
