For unpeeled soft-seeded pomegranates, the storage time will be longer. Pomegranates are actually quite durable. A relatively raw pomegranate may be able to be kept in the refrigerator for about two months. If it is placed in a dry and cool place, it can also be kept for about a month.

If it is a peeled pomegranate, it cannot be kept for such a long time. The peeled pomegranate will easily change color and the nutrients will be lost if left outside. If the peeled pomegranate is not eaten, you can put it in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping room. Try to put it in a fresh-keeping bag or plastic wrap. It can usually only be kept for about two days, so it should be eaten as soon as possible.
