Pomegranates are among the healthiest fruits on Earth. They contain a range of beneficial plant compounds, unrivalled by other foods. Studies have shown that they may have several benefits for your body, possibly lowering your risk of various diseases. The pomegranate, or Punica granatum, is a shrub that produces a red fruit. Categorized as a berry, the pomegranate fruit is about 5–12 cm in diameter. It is red, round and looks kind of like a red apple with a flower-shaped stem. The skin of the pomegranate is thick and inedible, but there are hundreds of edible seeds within. Each seed is surrounded by a red, juicy and sweet seed covering known as an aril.
The seeds and arils are the edible parts of the fruit — eaten either raw or processed into pomegranate juice — but the peel is discarded. The most common health benefits are: Pomegranate contains impressive anti-inflammatory effects, helps in fighting prostate cancer, lowers blood pressure, helps fight arthritis and joint pain, lowers risk of heart disease, can help fight bacterial and fungal infections and helps improve memory.
