Linda and I have literally EATEN hundreds of pomegranates every Fall/Wintertime.
Now we are starting to juice them and YES YOU CAN JUICE POMS! (see below for recipe intructions)
Here's a few tips to remember:
Dark Red, high in antioxidants and rich in fibers for a healthy colon....there are so many wonders about poms that I can't mention them all but here are a few:
1. Poms help fight heart disease and cancer
2. Low in calorie, high in nutrtion, as I call these high nutrient per nutrient density.
3. High in potassium (good for blood pressure)
4. High in antioxidants
5. The seeds are known to contain some fantastic fiber for our large and small intestines.
Pomegranates are IN SEASON NOW! Try peeling one and it may take a few minutes, but oh they are worth it!
Linda and I have a favorite Pomegranate Tonic:
-------------------------------------------------
POM POM Magic
2 large Poms (peel all the red off of the POM and leave as much of the white pulp as possible)
Cut in four pieces
3 Pippin Apples (cored and quartered.)
1 inch ginger (fresh, and you don't have to peel the ginger, just push it through the juicer, mixed in with some of the apple.)
Alternate between the Poms and the Apples to make sure it all gets flushed through.
Makes enough for two people.
This is a wonderful tonic for wintertime immunity builders!
One of the most beautiful fruits there are, to me....are Pomegranates.
Here's to your Precious Vital Health!
