Superfood: Pomegranates
Pomegranates are one of the oldest cultivated fruits and have long been considered a symbol of immortality, fertility, and abundance. Enjoy the benefits of this fruit in the edible seeds and the sweet-tart juice. Just one glass of pomegranate juice has the same polyphenol content as two glasses of red wine, four glasses of cranberry juice, or 10 cups of green tea. It's also an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, and calcium.
