The grenade

 

The pomegranate is the fruit of the pomegranate tree which ripens from September to December.  

 

This round fruit is composed of a thick rind, ripe red-brown in color.

 

It contains more than 400 red seeds called arils. It is a non-climacteric fruit, that is, it continues to ripen after harvest.  

 

The benefits of pomegranate  

 

  • The pomegranate provides 65 calories per 100 g. It takes 92 calories for a pomegranate weighing 150 g. It contains a small amount of lipids.  

 

  • Rich in water: with more than 80% the pomegranate is a very refreshing fruit.  

 

  • An interesting source of antioxidants, this fruit is also rich in potassium and phosphorus.  

 

  • Thanks to its arils, the pomegranate is rich in dietary fiber ideal for transit.  

 

  • Vitamin C is well represented with 20 mg per 100 g as well as group B vitamins. Vitamin B6 is essential because it is involved in the regulation of nerve impulses.  

 

  • In fermented pomegranate juice, these polyphenols also seem to be particularly effective in fighting certain cancers. A word of advice: consume the juice directly in the fruit using a straw.
