Pomegranate
Stepped in history and myth the pomegranate is one of the most ancient fruit trees to be
domesticated, having been grown in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
The fruit is
almost round and has tough leathery skin which is typically yellow covered with light or
deep pink or a rich red. The interior is split into compartments packed with sacs filled
with sweetly acid, juicy, red pulp. In each sac there is one angular, soft, or hard seed
surrounded by the ruby red pomegranate juice.
The fruit is thought by some to signify immortality, fertility, or reproductive energy. Today the pomegranate is more commonly known for its many health benefits. With the
many recent health claims, the pomegranate is being hailed as a ‘super-food’. The
pomegranate is packed with disease fighting antioxidants; three times more antioxidants
than either red wine or green tea.*
Antioxidants are naturally occurring substances and they “protect the body from
damage done to cells and DNA by free radicals, pesky compounds, which have been
linked to heart disease and cancer, even aging.” (Meet the Pomegranate,
http://healthandfitness.sympatico.msn.ca/).
Other well-publicized health benefits include:
- Proven to benefit the heart and blood pressure and can help reduce the
formation of fatty deposits on artery walls*
- Can aid in fertility and help towards a healthy pregnancy with natural oestrogen*
- A great source of potassium and Vitamin C*
