Pomegranate

Punica granatum

Autumn's most dazzling fruit, with ruby-red seeds: each one a tiny dose of antioxidants.

Why now?

A fruit devoted to your heart

Exceptionally rich in punicalagins and anthocyanins — they help reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and support healthy blood pressure.

A boost for exercise performance

Its natural nitrates can improve blood flow and help carry more oxygen to the muscles — which is why it's popular among athletes before a workout.

Gut-friendly fibre and polyphenols

Both the fibre in the seeds and the polyphenols that come through the peel have a positive effect on gut flora.

A glow from within

Vitamin C and powerful antioxidants support collagen production and help protect the skin against free radicals.
