Pomegranates NOW! – Janice Taylor, Life and Weight Loss SUCCESS Coach, Hypnotherapist, Author, Artist, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Greetings Tushkateers <\/strong>(member of the Kick in the Tush Club), Devotees of Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> and whomever else serendipitously landed on this page!\u00a0 As some of you know, we (my husband and I) moved from NYC to Tucson and lo’ n’ behold there are pomegranate trees in my “yard.”\u00a0 Because I am a cityGrrl through n’ through, I had to research how to cut, eat and store pomegranates.\u00a0 Here follows the basics of my hard work! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Enjoy one of nature’s best foods!<\/p>\n

The Pomegranates<\/strong> high in polyphenols, known to many as the \u201cjewel in winter,\u201d has been crowned one of today\u2019s super-foods. \u00a0 Researchers from Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel, London’s Hammersmith Hospital and University of Naples, Italy agree: Drinking one glass daily of pomegranate juice may lessen risk of cardiovascular disease.\u00a0 Pomegranates also contain large amounts of potassium – almost as much as bananas, which help to ward off hypertension.<\/p>\n

How to eat<\/strong>:\u00a0 Cut the fruit in half with a knife.\u00a0 Let the seeds (arids) fall where they may and gently pick out the rest.\u00a0 They are a divine addition to yogurt. Sprinkle them on your dry cereal or for a real thrill, mix into your hot oatmeal.\u00a0 Toss into a salad or garnish your chicken and rice dishes.<\/p>\n

How to buy:\u00a0 <\/strong>Pomegranates should be bright-colored, blotch and blemish-free and feel heavy for their size. Give your pomegranate a bang, and if it sounds like a hollow drum, it\u2019s ripe and you are good to go.<\/p>\n

How to store<\/strong>:\u00a0 You can either store in room temperature for approximately three weeks or in your fridge for a month!\u00a0 Feel free to freeze the seeds for up to three months.<\/p>\n
