Storage Tips

Pomegranate juice should be stored in the refrigerator once opened. Unopened bottles can be stored in a cool, dark place at room temperature. Once opened, tightly seal the juice and consume it within 7-10 days for the best quality. Freezing pomegranate juice is also an option; pour it into freezer-safe containers, leaving some headspace, and it can last for several months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
