The pomegranate is not only beautiful to look at and delicious to eat, but is loaded with health benefits.

Pomegranates are an excellent source of Vitamin C. In addition, the pomegranate is rich in polyphenols, some of the most powerful of the antioxidants. 1 And there’s more: each seed provides a satisfying crunch and a bit of fiber in every bite.

So, when late fall arrives and other fresh fruits begin to disappear, welcome a bowl filled with the glorious red pomegranate. Its wonderful shape and vibrant color make the pomegranate perfect for holiday festivities, both visual and culinary.
