Pomegranates are in the superfood category. They have multiple health benefits and we should all be eating them. But did you ever try to open a pomegranate? I did. It's one thing to peel and eat and it's another to try to extract juice. I've tried several different methods and IMHO it's best to just buy the juice. Yes, it's pricey. But think about all the work involved. It's worth it.
POMWonderful has something to say about it:
"POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice is the only pomegranate juice backed by $25 million in medical research. Actually, we are the only pomegranate juice backed by any medical research at all.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the role of pomegranates in promoting heart health, prostate health, and proper erectile function. But while these results are promising, keep in mind that all of the research has been done on POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice. Our juice comes from a unique pomegranate variety (the Wonderful), which is grown in a unique location (California), and which is juiced with proprietary technology (ours!). No other pomegranate juice can claim these distinctions, and no other brand has been clinically tested."

ReplyDeleteMy daughter has fallen in love with pom seeds - yes, it takes time but now that she knows how to do it, I don't have to anymore.
People have talked about buying pom seeds prepackaged, but I have yet to see those in my neck of the woods!
I'll give you a shout out tomorrow on my bfast post.
Again, Happy Birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday Judy!!
