Pomegranate History

Pomegranate Juice is as refreshing as it is mystical. Known for its high potency of antioxidants, pomegranates have thrived for centuries as the fruit of choice for Kings and Nobles. The History of the cultivated pomegranate begins around 3000 B.C. when it was one of the first domesticated crops in recorded history. Only the pomegranate, fig, olive, grapes and dates have the earliest recording of a domesticated crop.

The pomegranate has recently been acclaimed for its health benefits, in particular, for its disease-fighting antioxidant potential. Preliminary studies suggest that pomegranate juice may contain almost three times the total antioxidant ability compared with the same quantity of green tea or red wine.
