Health Benefits
In addition to exceptional clarity, rich colour and a distinctive and appealing flavour, pomegranates also have a hidden bonus: a wealth of vitamins and healing properties.
Long recognized for their healthful properties, pomegranates contain vitamins A, B, and C, iron, calcium and other essential minerals. They are also rich in antioxidants,
which are beneficial for blood circulation, and to the heart. Thus, pomegranates are effective in helping heart disease and arteriosclerosis,
and in easing inflammatory conditions.
According to research recently conducted on pomegranate juice and seed oil by the University of California and the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel,
pomegranates neutralize free radicals three times more than green tea or red wine. According to the study, If consumed daily over a long period of time,
the powerful antioxidants in pomegranates may help to combat cancer and may also prevent hardening of the arteries.
Additional studies suggest that the fruit may even assist people suffering from various ailments such as Type-2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
The studies also indicate it may promote the retention of LDL cholesterol in the arteries and help alleviate menopausal and post-menopausal symptoms in women
(pomegranate is the only plant known to contain estrogens). Today the pomegranate has become one of the fastest growing trends in the food industry.
The recent studies revealing a multitude of health benefits have led to a rapid increase in the popularity of the fruit worldwide.
And now we can enjoy the ancient crimson fruit in the form of world-class wine made from 100% pomegranate juice
that retain the succulent flavours and properties of the pomegranate fruit even after they have been fermented into wine.
