The Pomegranate is one of our favourite fruits, taking some perseverance to eat though. It’s grown on small deciduous trees. The fruit needs to be cut open, but inside small capsules of juice (arils) are revealed waiting to be prised away from its shell. The juice is delicious. If the effort required is too much, pomegranate juice is generally available from the local store. Ayurveda is a system of traditional medicine from India – the Pomegranate has been used within the Ayurveda system in India for thousands of years, where the rind of the fruit and bark of the tree are used to treat stomach upsets and the juice as a balance against a high fat diet being consumed. The juice is full of Vitamin C and also B5 and full of antioxidants. Other Pomegranate benefits are thought to include added protection against heart / cardiovascular disease and reduction in bad LDL cholesterol.
