I am always on the lookout for pomegranate friendly diets. Recently I’ve noticed one key diet that fits in well with pomegranate consumption and my general philosophy of dieting, the paleo diet. The paleo diet, also known as the hunter gather diet, is a nice very simply method of lowering your glycemic index and becoming healthier. Of course, it is very amenable to pomegranates and other fruits I enjoy. I had some trouble figuring out how to get started with this diet and then I found a good blog post on the best paleo diet books. I snagged a couple of those of Amazon and spent some time reading. Now I feel ready to go, I will keep you updated.

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.

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.
