Pomegranate

£2.50

Pomegranate is a unique fruit known for its vibrant red color and juicy arils (seeds) enclosed in a tough outer skin. It has a sweet and tangy flavor that adds a burst of freshness to a variety of dishes. Pomegranates are often enjoyed on their own as a refreshing snack, but they are also used in salads, desserts, sauces, and beverages. The arils can be eaten as they are or extracted for their juice, which is packed with antioxidants.

Nutrients:

Pomegranate is a nutrient-dense fruit that offers several health benefits:

  • Antioxidants: Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants, including punicalagins and anthocyanins, which help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.
  • Vitamin C: Pomegranates are a good source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient that supports immune function and collagen synthesis.
  • Fiber: Pomegranate arils are high in dietary fiber, which promotes digestive health and helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
  • Potassium: Pomegranates provide a moderate amount of potassium, an electrolyte that supports heart health and helps regulate blood pressure.
  • Polyphenols: Pomegranates contain polyphenols, which have been associated with potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects.
