If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, chances are the aisles of your local fruit markets and grocery stores are bursting with juicy, sweet-tart pomegranate. Hailed as one of the oldest fruits in history, pomegranates are loaded with vitamins, potassium, fibre and powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. Studies show that the ruby-red fruit lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, supports immune function and fights cancer.
