APPLES OVER APPLES

Pomegranate, an apple with many, many stones, has been eaten since time immemorial not only for its taste, but also for its medicinal properties. A symbol of love, fertility and heavenly pleasures, pomegranates have been cultivated for 5,000 years. An apple with many, many pits (there are more than 600 of them) has been eaten since time immemorial not only for its taste, but also for its healing properties. Apart from the fantastic taste of its ripe seeds and the dishes in which it is used, such as vegetable and fruit salads, creams, sauces and ice cream, its nutrition and medicinal properties are widely discussed.
Pomegranate-based juices and nutritional supplements are particularly popular in the USA, a country that leads the way in the number of scientific studies on its positive impact on human health, as well as beauty. Therefore, it is not surprising that pomegranate drinks are popular not only in fitness centers and office canteens, but also at parties, which cannot be complete without pomitini, a martini with the juice of this currently very popular fruit.
Indeed, numerous scientific studies in different parts of the world prove what people knew in ancient times. Pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum) is a real little bomb of valuable bioactive ingredients that not only prevent, but also alleviate, and even eliminate numerous health disorders and diseases.
Pomegranate reduces the harmful effects caused by alcohol and smoking. Its ingredients speak in favor of this, for example, 100 g of fresh pomegranate juice, which has approximately 69 kcal, contains 85.4 g of water, 0.2 protein, 0.2 fat, 16.7 carbohydrates and 3.1 g of ballast substances, including 1 mg of sodium, 200 mg of potassium, 3 mg of calcium, 8 mg of phosphorus, 3 mg of calcium, 3 mg of magnesium and 8 mg of vitamin C. In addition, there are vitamins E , B1, B2 and selenium, zinc, copper and iron. Due to its positive effects on human health, pomegranate really deserves to be on our daily menu with other fruits. In addition, to increase immunity and prevent health disorders, experts recommend daily consumption of ¼ l of freshly squeezed or high-quality store-bought juice.
