Tasting Pomegranate Heaven in Beni Mellal

Come autumn, Beni Mellal bursts into color — not just from the forests or mountains, but from its star fruit: the pomegranate. Sweet, tart, and bursting with flavor, these ruby-red gems are celebrated in street stalls, farms, and homemade desserts.

Visit during harvest season (September–November), and you’ll find the freshest rumman in Morocco. Farmers line the roads with crates stacked high. Stop for a sample — you’ll likely get a smile and a juicy handful for free.

Beyond just eating them raw, locals turn pomegranates into syrups, sauces, even tagine glazes. Pair it with a walk through Ain Asserdoun — a mountain spring above town — and your day is golden.

Beni Mellal may not be flashy, but it’s full of flavor, freshness, and simple beauty.
