Spanish term or phrase: corteza y las pieles
This is an article about the picking of pomegranates in Spain and a machine to "sort" them.

Un equipo de investigadores ha desarrollado una máquina que separa automáticamente los granos de la corteza y las pieles de la granada.

Thank you!

"corteza" = bark

skin and the (white) pith
Explanation:
I think you could translate 'corteza' as 'skin' and 'pieles' as 'pith' (or white pith) in this case.
