When should pomegranates be picked?

When they are ripe, I know. But how can I tell when they have ripened enough for picking?

Answers:
The fruits are ripe when they have developed a distinctive color and make a metallic sound when tapped. The fruits must be picked before over maturity when they tend to crack open, particularly when rained on. The pomegranate is equal to the apple in having a long storage life. It is best maintained at a temperature of 32° to 41° F. and can be kept for a period of 7 months within this temperature range and at 80 to 85% relative humidity without shrinking or spoiling. The fruits improve in storage, becoming juicier and more flavorful.

Other answers:
They should be picked as soon as they start to be full sized (slightly smaller). Then, let them sit for four days outdoors. Finally, wash them with CLEAN water for fifteen minutes.
