Pomegranates are just like red jewels you can sprinkle onto desserts, salads and even meat dishes. They are well known for their antioxidant properties and it is always best to have them in the whole fruit form - not as a juice.
Upgrade your salad, guacamole or even a simple cup of yoghurt with a dash of fresh pomegranate.
The best is to remove the kernels from the skin and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It is very easy to remove the kernels by cutting the pomegranate in half and pushing the skin from the outside to the inside over a large bowl filled with water so that you can remove just the kernels from the skin. Try it!

Nutritional Information of pomegranate
The small pink seeds inside a pomegranate, called the arils, are the edible portion of the fruit. While they can be labour-intensive to remove from the fruit’s inner flesh, their nutritional profile and flavour are well worth the investment.
Overall, pomegranates are low in calories and fat but high in fibre, vitamins, and minerals. They also contain some protein.
Below is the nutrition for the arils in one average (282-gram) pomegranate fruit:
Calories: 234
Protein: 4.7 grams
Fat: 3.3 grams
Carbohydrates: 52 grams
Sugar: 38.6 grams
Fiber: 11.3 grams
Calcium: 28.2 mg, or 2% of the Daily Value (DV)
Iron: 0.85 mg, or 5% of the DV
Magnesium: 33.8 mg, or 8% of the DV
Phosphorus: 102 mg, or 8% of the DV
Potassium: 666 mg, or 13% of the DV
Vitamin C: 28.8 mg, or 32% of the DV
Folate (vitamin B9): 107 mcg, or 27% of the DV
Comparatively, a 1/2-cup (87-gram) serving of arils provides 72 calories, 16 grams of carbs, 3.5 grams of fiber, 1 gram of fat, and 1.5 grams of protein.
Keep in mind that the nutritional information for pomegranate and arils differs from that of pomegranate juice, which won’t provide much fibre or vitamin C. This applies to fruit in general — eating the whole form will provide more fibre.
