Superfoods & Honor Roll Foods, part 15
Pomegranates & Pomegranate Juice.
A couple of news items I saw recently said pomegranates may well have more antioxidant power than green tea or red wine.
The articles actually said it was three times as much. I’d want to see the test results myself before I would post here that pomegrantes have three times as much antioxidant power as green tea.
And, antioxidants are like carotenoids or vitamins. Different ones have different health benefits.
So green tea may be a better cancer preventer than pomegranate juice for example even if the overall level of antioxidants in the pomegranate juice is higher.
One dietician who studies the health aspects of foods suggested pomegrantes may be particularly good for keeping your blood vessels clean & so to promote good circulation & prevent cardiovascular disease
So, it definitely sounds like pomegranates & pomegranate juice are probably superfoods. And, it may well be worth your while to taste some to see if you like it.
The team member, their main buyer I think, that I just spoke with at our local Whole Foods Market, said they had the RW Knudsen pomegranate juice in stock.
And, he said they may soon get in a pomegranate, blueberry, apple juice combination & even a pomegranate ice cream possibly.
