Pomegranates are the Middle East's entry for superfruit, and it's nothing to sneeze at. In fact, with all those antioxidants and vitamin C, it's not too likely you'll be sneezing anytime soon after eating one. What makes "pom" such a formidable fruit is the fact that it has a great taste and it can claim so many different healthful compounds... More than any other superfruit but Acai. For instance, Pomegranate has been shown to have: |  |
- Many phytochemicals, including beta-carotene
- Many polyphenols, including catechins & gallocatechins
