My Actifit Report Card: January 5 2023

Pomegranates are low in calories and fat but high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Benefits include antioxidants, heart health, urinary health, exercise endurance, and more.

Pomegranates are round, red fruits. They feature a white inner flesh that’s densely packed with crunchy, juicy edible seeds called arils.

They may be best known for the vibrantly colored juice they’re often used in, but these unique fruits have a lot more to offer.

With the potential to support many aspects of health, from immunity to brain health, pomegranates are worth adding to your healthy eating routine.

This article examines the many nutritional and health benefits of pomegranates.

To prepare fresh pomegranate you need to cut off both ends. You may see the membranes that divide the inside of the fruit. Cut into the skin from top to bottom along these ridges. Next, slice deep enough to cut through the skin and the white membrane without cutting the pomegranate seeds. Hold the pomegranate over a bowl of water and pry it apart with your fingers. Pull the seeds away from the membrane and skin, allowing them to fall into the bowl of water. The membrane will float to the top of the water, and the seeds will sink to the bottom. Remove the membrane, and throw it away. Drain the water from the seeds.

You can easily incorporate pomegranate into your diet by:

Adding them to a quinoa salad with other fresh fruits and vegetables
Sprinkle pomegranate seeds onto of yogurt with granola to make a parfait
Give your salad a pop by adding pomegranate seeds
Use pomegranate seeds or juice to add a kick to your favorite cocktail
Mix pomegranate juice, rice vinegar, oil, garlic, and white sugar to make a salad dressing
