Pomegranates are higher in calories than most other fruits. They contain anti-
inflammatory and potent antioxidants. Since they contain a high level of antioxidants,
they are effective in helping to fight disease. They're increasingly becoming popular
due to their discovered health benefits. Pomegranates have a distinctive sweet/tart
taste and beautiful deep red color. Some food manufactures are using them in
fillings, beverages, sauces, and confections. The potassium content in pomegranate
juice is almost as high as that in orange juice. Unlike orange juice, pomegranates are
not a good source of vitamin C. Studies have found that pomegranates slow the
growth in prostate tumors.
