Grubby, like a pomegranate ... (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seedy

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'grubby' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'like a pomegranate' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for seedy that I've seen before include "Scruffy" , "Unseemly" , "run down" , "Run-down, squalid" , "Shabby and a bit dubious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
