Pomegranates are a delicious fruit that are low in calories (about 110 calories in a 4 inch diameter pomegranate), high in vitamin C and potassium, and a great source of fiber. Pomegranates contain three different types of polyphenols (tannins, anthocyanins, ellagic acid), powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants have been shown to help in the prevention of cancer and heart disease. FYI: an easy way to peel a pomegranate is to open it in a bowl of water and remove the fruit in the water. Strain and enjoy.
