Pomegranates Fit for Royalty.
Welcome to the Ruby Secret – the hidden gem alongside our flagship Ruby King.
While Ruby King showcases the Kingdom cultivar with its deep red external colour, thick skin, dark red arils, and perfect sweet-tart balance, Ruby Secret features the Wonderful cultivar – the most widely grown pomegranate commercially, renowned for its large fruit, classic tangy-sweet flavour, and arils packed with high phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity.
But here’s the secret: our Bonnievale terroir elevates the Wonderful cultivar beyond what is typically achieved elsewhere. The unique combination of warm, dry days and chilly nights – thanks to the daily South Easterly breeze carrying cold air from the Benguela current as it wraps around Africa’s southernmost tip – creates dramatic temperature swings that enhance the Wonderful’s deep red internal colour.
This intense pigmentation is scientifically linked to higher antioxidant levels. Research confirms that pomegranates grown in cooler climates develop greater redness, along with higher levels of total phenols, anthocyanins, and vitamin C – offering significant health benefits for those seeking to combat harmful free radicals.
From enjoying them fresh to blending, juicing, or using their vibrant arils in salads, Ruby Secret pomegranates deliver outstanding quality that stands apart from the rest. Discover the difference our unique growing conditions and passionate dedication make.
And that’s the secret.
