The pomegranate tree, Punica granatum<\/em>, is a very interesting plant from an ethnobotanical point of view. Regarding its name, in the southern regions of Val\u00e8ncia, we normally use both mangraner<\/em> and mangrana<\/em>, with an epenthetic \u201cn\u201d added to the more etymological version of magraner <\/em>(pomegranate tree) or magrana<\/em> (pomegranate). Over the centuries, we have learned how to create bonds with this deciduous bush or tree that go beyond the purely agronomic. Bonds that have crystallized into a very broad cultural polyhedron in which, in addition to the botanical aspects, those of an ethnobotanical character are particularly relevant, such as pharmacology, agronomy, nutrition, biochemistry, cosmetics, basketry, fur fertilization, dyeing, ornamentation, history, mythology, religions, literature, plastic arts, linguistics, paremiology, symbology, heraldry, numismatics, vexillology (flags), children\u2019s games\u2026 and we will stop here because we don\u2019t want to tire the reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In origin, the pomegranate tree was a deciduous and spiny bush naturally distributed from the Caucasus to the Himalayas, and that produced an edible fruit, the pomegranate. Later, after perfectioning the agronomic techniques, cultivars of saplings with few spines and more accessible fruits were obtained. It must be said that these fruits are very rare within the plant world: a fruit with a leathery skin and a peculiar shape, a type of pouch that contains multiple seeds inside surrounded by a translucent and juicy pulp; arils with different gradations between sweet and sour, and colors that go from pale pink to bright red. They are grouped and compartmentalized by semi-transparent membranes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An inner chromaticism so beautiful that it has even been used as a metaphor in such sensitive poems as the biblical \u201cCanticle of Canticles\u201d, in which the lover says to its beloved: \u201cYour cheeks are like grains of pomegranate\u201d (Canticle of Canticles, 4,3; 6,7), who, in response, whispered to its suitor \u201c\u2026 and I would give you to drink perfumed wine and the must of my pomegranates\u201d (Canticle. 8,2).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It took centuries of improvement by selection of larger and sweeter mutants, advances for which we have to thank the skilled Sumerian, Akkadian, Chaldean (Babylonian), Hindu and Egyptian farmers. And even the Assyrians (upper Mesopotamia), who associated the abundance of large pomegranate contents with their god of fertility, Rimon. A divinity that was later adopted as their own by the Syrians (between Anatolia and Arabia), Phoenicians and Canaanites, and that had its main sanctuary in Damascus, the capital of Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenicians\u2019 love of pomegranates led them to spread their cultivation to the shores of the Mediterranean and, in particular, to one of their foundations, Carthage. And it was the Punics or Carthaginians, heirs of the Phoenicians of Tyre, who promoted and extraordinarily improved the cultivation of pomegranate trees under the leadership of one of the greatest agronomists of antiquity, Mag\u00f3 (3rd<\/sup> century BC). The exportation of pomegranates was one of the most lucrative activities of the Carthaginians to the extent that pomegranates were known everywhere as malum punicum<\/em>, \u201cPunic apples\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pomegranate tree became so representative of Carthage that Scipio Africanus, after defeating Hannibal at Zama, planted a pomegranate tree in the Roman Quirinal to commemorate the battle. He did so in the temple dedicated to the god of war, Chiri (the equivalent of Mars), in the direction of which an avenue called Via ad malum punicum<\/em> (currently V\u00eda delle Quattro Fontane<\/em>) was opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for our our home, we know that it is a very old cultivation in the Valencian midlands, in the region of the Baix Vinalop\u00f3<\/em>. In fact, at the archaeological site of l\u2019Alc\u00fadia<\/em> (the same one where the Dama d\u2019Elx<\/em> was found), charred pomegranates from the 1st<\/sup> century BC have been discovered, as well as pottery from the late Iberian period (2nd<\/sup> \u2013 4th<\/sup> century BC) with pomegranate engravings, which are easy to identify due to the peculiar morphology of the fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centuries later, Muslims also developed a special love for pomegranates and pomegranate trees, prefigurations of paradise or Jannah, in which \u201cthere will be fruit, palm trees and pomegranate trees\u201d (Sura 55,68, Quran:). Accordingly, Andalusian agronomists strove to obtain pomegranates of the best quality, as is evident in the \u201cTreatise on Agriculture\u201d by the Sevillian al-Awam (12th<\/sup> \u2013 13th<\/sup> century), or by studying ancient Andalusian gardens, or by visiting the current Moroccan ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some gardens and orchards that encouraged all types of agronomic experiments, some of which we inherited in our more southern lands with varieties. For example the albar<\/em>, edible although it is slightly more sour than sweet; the sweet albar<\/em>, with big and very sweet grains; the agria<\/em>, small, with a reddish skin and a sour taste; the precious<\/em>, large, red, sour and with seeds, which ripens late; the tendral<\/em>, the best quality, with big grains, small seeds and a lot of juice, even though its rind is so thin that it is marked at the slightest blow; the pinyolenca<\/em>, with more stone than aril; and the Sacaries<\/em>, small and very sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The varieties that escape from cultivation, those naturalized by the margins of irrigation ditches and canals, deserve a separate chapter. In this cases they tend to recover their original aspect, bushy and spiny, with smaller pomegranates, with grains that are not too red, less juicy and with an acidic taste. In our case, in Elx<\/em> (Baix Vinalop\u00f3, Pa\u00eds Valenci\u00e0<\/em>), these wild specimens are called \u201csalleiers<\/em>\u201d or \u201cde sallei<\/em>\u201d, referring to the expression \u201cde sa llei<\/em>\u201d, in the sense that \u201cthey go their own way\u201d, without anyone cultivating them. And, above all, the icon of the Elx<\/em> countryside, also widely cultivated in the neighboring regions of l\u2019Alacant\u00ed<\/em> and Baix Segura<\/em>, being the most produced variety in the whole country and the most exported one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all these varieties go together with another \u201cpomegranate\u201d, now symbolic, the one of the Misteri d\u2019Elx<\/em>: an articulated \u201ccloud\u201d that opens in gallons and descends in order to gather and ascend to heaven in body and soul (Assumption) to crown the recently dead Virgin Mary. The sacred drama, the Misteri d\u2019Elx<\/em>, is performed on 14th<\/sup> and 15th<\/sup> August; it is the only one medieval technique performed for more than five hundred years, and has been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the organoleptic characteristics of the \u201cmollar<\/em>\u201d it is worth highlighting the well-balanced sweetness, a stone so soft that you can barely notice it, and its external color, which varies from cream to bright red (depending on the exposure to sunlight that the fruit had on the tree). However, it is not the most cultivated internationally, since the tastes for other types of pomegranates differ considerably from one country to another: in Mediterranean countries and part of Europe, the \u201csweet\u201d varieties are preferred as dessert fruits. But in English-speaking, Central European and Scandinavian countries, they prefer the more sour or bittersweet ones for salads, juices and refreshing drinks. For example, grenadine, a very nice and refreshing syrup, which is also useful to treat sore throats. As a result, of the more than five hundred varieties that exist, the most cultivated in the world is the wonderful<\/em>, acid, with a more marked stone and a bright red color, both the inner arils and the outer cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s enjoy the pomegranates, of course. But also everything that humans have been able to create inspired by them. From the cultivations of pomegranates, to sublime poetry and, obviously, pictorial works like these two with which we close this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The palatal enjoyment of fruits, as well as the poetic and pictorial ones, consciously understood, are also part of ethnobotany. Of an affective ethnobotany that we also need to revindicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article was written with Vicent Oncina Climent, an agricultural engineer from the Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University of Elx<\/em>, who dedicated his final year project to the cultivation of pomegranate trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
