Health Benefits of Pomegranate

👉Categorized as a berry, the pomegranate fruit is about 5–12 cm (2–5 inches) in diameter. It is red, round and looks kind of like a red apple with a flower-shaped stem.
👉The skin of the pomegranate is thick and inedible, but there are hundreds of edible seeds within. Each seed is surrounded by a red, juicy and sweet seed covering known as an aril.
👉 The seeds and arils are the edible parts of the fruit — eaten either raw or processed into pomegranate juice — but the peel is discarded.

1. Pomegranates Are Loaded With Important Nutrients
Pomegranates have an impressive nutrient profile — one cup of arils (174 grams) contains (2):
✅Fiber: 7 grams
✅Protein: 3 grams
✅Vitamin C: 30% of the RDI
✅Vitamin K: 36% of the RDI
✅Folate: 16% of the RDI
✅Potassium: 12% of the RDI
The pomegranate arils are also very sweet, with one cup containing 24 grams of sugar and 144 calories.
2. Pomegranates Contain Two Plant Compounds With Powerful Medicinal Properties
✅Punicalagins
Punicalagins are extremely potent antioxidants found in pomegranate juice and peel.
Pomegranate extract and powder is typically made from the peel, due to its high antioxidant and punicalagin content.
✅ Punicic Acid
Punicic acid, found in pomegranate seed oil, is the main fatty acid in the arils.
It’s a type of conjugated linoleic acid with potent biological effects.
3. Pomegranate Has Impressive Anti-Inflammatory Effects
➡Chronic inflammation is one of the leading drivers of many serious diseases.
➡This includes heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and even obesity.
➡Pomegranates have potent anti-inflammatory properties, which are largely mediated by the antioxidant properties of the punicalagins.
