Pomegranate Passion!

Love those pomegranates.  If you can get beyond breaking all of those little seeds out . . . there isn’t a yummier snack this time of year!  Pomegranates are a delicious, antioxidant-packed superfood, that just happens to protect your body from aging.  Hello, ladies!!!!  Do you really need to read more?  Oh . . . and they are in season!   This is from www.thebite.com.

The Benefits

• Savor the season. Eating food that’s in season means fewer transportation-related emissions (the average piece of produce travels more than 1,500 mi before you sink your teeth into it).
• We heart them. A study published by the American Journal of Cardiology found that eating pomegranates can help combat the risk of heart disease.
• Aging gracefully. The high level of antioxidants in pomegranates may help protect your body (and skin) from cell-aging free radicals.

Best way to crack into a pomegranate? Cut off the crown (the outtie belly-buttonish top), then cut into the rind and separate the seeds in a bowl of warm water. Strain, and then start biting.
