Iran’s Pomegranates

Pomegranate Benefits — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:30:49 +0000

In the west we look at the pomegranate as an exotic addition to our drinks. The health benefits of pomegranate juice are now well known and many people seek it out. What many do not know is that Iran is the largest pomegranate producer in the entire world. While Americans look at the red fruit and ask their friends how to eat a pomegranate, Iranians know the fruit well. If trade relations were normalized with Iran, a whole new flood of the wonder fruit would be headed for the United States. Right now, India is the main pomegranate producer that supplies the US.

Pomegranate Surplus in Spain

Pomegranate Benefits — Fri, 15 May 2009 01:10:02 +0000

There are tons of pomegranates coming from Spain this year. Favorable climate conditions have contributed to a 30% increase in pomegranate production in the Elche region of Spain. This is great for European pomegranate consumers who will see this surplus decrease prices for pomegranate fruit. Spanish officials attribute the success to new irrigration systems installed by my pomegranate producers.

New studies are showing that 8 ounces of pomegranate juice may help fight localized pockets of prostate cancer. These pockets, those that are not treatable, grew much slower among the men who drank the 8 ounces per day. This was a long term study taking place over six years which helps give it legitimacy. This may also lead to future studies on the preventative nature of the pomegranate fruit as well.

Caring for pomegranate trees

Pomegranate Benefits — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 21:33:30 +0000

Mmmm, we love the pomegranate, that much is for sure. The only thing better than buying the tasty and healthy yumminess from the store is having your own tree! Now obvious geographical barriers prevent some of you from this pride in ownership, but for the rest of you, here’s some ideas on how to care for your pomegranate tree.

The trees generally can withstand temperatures as low as 10 degrees, but citrus climates are still the best for them, in my opinion. Plant your tree in deep, heavy soil. Be sure to maintain the correct soil moisture in the summer and early fall (when you’ll be harvesting and enjoying pomegrate benefits).

Pomegranate Kir Royal

Pomegranate Benefits — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:38:26 +0000

Ok, we admit. One of the pomegranate benefits that we like best is its taste. One thing that you will want to try out, perhaps at your Super Bowl party, is a pomegranate kir royal (royale). Just because it is a guys game and night, doesn’t mean you can spice it up with nice tasty and classy drinks. Go out and purchase a decent bottle of sparkling wine. This would actually be what is known as a Kir Petillant. Anyway, try adding some pomegranate seeds as well as some pomegranate liqueur to your glass for a nice twist on the Kir drink and an alternative to beer on Sunday.

Pomegranate history in US

Pomegranate Benefits — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:44:49 +0000

Pomegranates are only available as a fresh fruit in the United States, from places like California, September through January. A fresh pomegranate is a scrumptious nugget of food heaven that can play an integral role in your food. Despite its recent popularity, few people realize that the pomegranate is not as exotic as you might think. What makes the pomegranate pop is the inner red arils that contain tart and sweet flavor bursts. Really, you can complement both your sweet and savory dishes with the pomegranate. We think that Spanish religious missionaries imported the fruit to California in the colonial period. The strongest area of pomegranate production is the San Jaoquin Valley.
