}}The traditional area of cultivation reaches from the Himalaya to the Mediterranean area. Now cultivated in most countries with warmer climate, also escaped from cultivation and naturalized (e.g. in N Albania). Very old fruit tree, already in the early Bronze age known from the Middle East. Punica protopunica Balf.f. (in Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinbg. 9, 1882, 512) from Socotra had been discussed as a possible progenitor, but this is rather doubtful. A multiple domestication within the large area of the wild P. granatum is now generally accepted. The fruits are consumed fresh. The pulpa of the seeds is eaten or prepared into a juice, which is the basis for lemonades or a beverage similar to wine. In India the dried and ground seeds are used as a condiment (anardana). Medicinally used are flowers (Flores balaustinorum, Flores Granati, Flores Balaustia) and the fruit peel which is rich in tannin (Cortex fructus Granati, Cortex malicorii, Malicorium, Pericarpium Granati), also used for tanning as the root bark (Cortex Radicis Granati). From the flowers a red dye is extracted. Also ornamental plant with simple and double flowers.

|Douée de propriétés anthelmintiques au niveau de l'écorce de la racine, cette espèce a également des propriétés tannantes.
Selon MOLAINE l'écorce du fruit est utilisée depuis l'antiquité pour le ''tannage'' des peaux. Elle est encore employée en ''teinturerie'' (TROTTER, 1915 ; POINSOT et REVAULT, 1937 ; COUSTILLAC, 1958), et cette teinture sert éventuellement au marquage des animaux (RENON s.d.).
