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.

Now I feel ready to go, I will keep you updated.

Spanish officials attribute the success to new irrigration systems installed by my pomegranate producers.
