Pomegranate benefits: good. Overhyping pomegranate benefits: bad. At least that’s according to the United Kingdom. In the UK a Pom Wonderful juice commercial has been pulled for overinflating the benefits of the pomegranate fruit. It seems as if the advertisement stated that the juice can help drinkers “cheap death.” Hard to say who is right on this one. Certainly the anti-oxidant benefits of the pomegranate can help reduce damage to body tissues and perhaps more.

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.

In Afghanistan, pomegranates are beginning to replace poppies, used for making opium and heroin, as a staple crop in the region. In Afghanistan, the pomegranate is known as anar. As the article mentions, the pomegranate is somewhat trendy in Europe and the United States, mostly because of the health benefits of the fruit.
