It's the season for Pomegranates! They are super nutritious and healthy. A method to choosing great Pomegranates is by how dark red the outer skin is. Since most fruit markets tend to pick them much earlier before they are ripe, you will also want to wait until the skin has a somewhat soft texture before considering opening it up. You should be able to dent the skin with a gentle press with your finger nails. Also another good indicator is by looking at the crown top of the fruit. You'll see a bunch of thin pedals inside and as it concave inwards towards the center that means it's ready to consume.
Pomegranates have one of the most powerful anti-oxidants of all fruits. Anti-oxidants help protect healthy cells from damage caused by normal body functions. This fruit has potent anti-cancer and immune supporting effects as well. Helps lowers cholesterol, blood pressure, and other cardiac risk factors. Studies have also shown that it helps protect/relieve against depression and osteoporosis.
When was the last time you had a Pomegranate???
