POMEGRANATE

      Pomegranate has long been used for its health benefits. Modern science suggests that pomegranates may protect the heart and prevent cancer. Pomegranate is a sweet and sour fruit with a thick skin. Although the peel is inedible, it contains hundreds of seeds that can be easily eaten or sprinkled on salads, oatmeal, hummus and other foods. Bottled pomegranate juice is also an easy way to apply this delicious fruit to your tree and enjoy some of its benefits. This tree needs enough heat for this hard, delicious fruit to grow and ripen. Pomegranate grows naturally in the Middle East and some Asian countries, but can also be produced in the United States. Most pomegranates are grown in California.
