If you have not tried a Pomegranate yet...what are you waiting for? They are not only a yummy snack but they are so good for you!!!
Pom is a high fiber fruit full of Vitamin C and Potassium, they are also high in polyphenosis, a type of antioxidant that is GREAT for you!
To cut them...cut the top off of the Pomegranate-about a 1/2 inch from the crown then cut into sections. Put sections in water and roll out the arils (yummy seeds). Last, strain water, then eat the yummy seeds! Be careful this yummy fruit will stain! FYI...OXI is great for removing the pomegranate stains!
There are so many things you can do with Pomegranates! I like to just eat them as a snack! But you can do some research and find many great recipes online!
I have told you before that I do not recommend drinking alcohol when trying to lose weight but if you are going to have one-try a Pomtini! This Pomtini is also great without the Stoli!
