Celebrated in mythology, literature and art, the pomegranate has a noble history. Along with the citrus and the peach, it's one of the three blessed fruits in Buddhism. Some have suggested that it was a pomegranate, not an apple, that led to the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. And in Greek mythology, Persephone was sentenced to six months a year in the underworld for eating just six pomegranate seeds. I just recently discovered POM, an incredible form of pomegranate juice overflowing with antioxidants. A glass of pomegranate juice has more antioxidants than red wine, green tea, cranberry juice and orange juice. In addition to this, the juice is a great source of potassium, vitamin C and polyphenols (which promote heart health). If you've yet to try it, I suggest you have a go, it's quite good stuff!

Dude, I just had a pomegranate last week! It was great! And the RA upstairs drinks that Pom juice, it's not too bad.
