Pomegranate is a fruit that does not belong to the citrus family, but is known for its distinct characteristics and flavor. Pomegranate, whose Latin name is Punica granatum, is a fruit with a rind, usually red in color. The inside is made up of many small, juicy and sweet seeds. Each grain contains a seed surrounded by a fleshy part called the arillus. Pomegranates have been used throughout history for both food and medicinal purposes.

Pomegranate is very rich in nutritional value. It contains vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and various antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from free radical damage and support overall health. The health benefits of pomegranate include supporting heart health, regulating blood pressure, strengthening the immune system and anti-inflammatory effects.
