I was thinking that every week we can do a superfood of the week where we can add tidbits of why it is so good for us and what we can do with it. Right now pomegranates are everywhere and it is debatable whether they are a superfood or not but I absolutely love it, it is packed with vitamins and anti-oxidents that help fight heart diease, high blood pressure, some cancers including prostate and they are so amazing for your skin. Pomegranate juice is really good for you and it is a bit on the stronger side so I either juice half a pomegrate with my other fruits and veggies or I will add pomegranate juice to my smoothies. The way I read to choose a pomegranate is to choose one that feels heavier for its size. So usually I go for the small heavy ones and they have always been loaded with juicy red arils. Lately I have been mixing them in with a tsp of dark choc chips and greek yogurt.

Oh plus share any recipes, totkas, and helpful articles and info regarding the superfood.
Pom smoothie
1/4 pom juice
1/2 cup frozen berry blend or tropical blend.
1/2 Greek yogurts or use the light flavored ones in vanilla or any neutral flavor
1 tsp raw honey
1 tsp flax seeds
Blend and enjoy!!! It is so yum and loaded with prebiotics, protein and calcium from greek yogurt, vitamins and antioxidants from the fruit and raw honey has antibiotic properties and your skin will thank you.

I just sprinkle some salt on em and down they do!!! YUM. Have heard from various doctor’s that it’s very beneficial in keeping the skin clear and glowing because of all the vitamin C.
p.s: I was just at the grocery store and saw ‘Buddha’s hand’? Can we talk about that next week? That is if anyone’s ever had it 
Re: Superfood of the week-Pomegrantes
RG i just googled it and eeek its like the jellyfish of the produce aisle. However, it is a citrusy fruit used mostly in japan and china for fragrancing the room. It can be used as a zest but the finger parts are chopped off.
I am a desi so kala namak and anaar is like MY MOVIE SNACK. Also no one sits next to me at home and I dont think I can successfully sneak it in a theater.

bss koi nikal dey

I know it's such a pain but I love anaar. Just soak them in water and take out the seeds. The gunk floats up on top and the precious seeds are on the bottom. Drain and enjoy. I do a few poms in one go so I have a stash for 3 days. Then I let the sprinkling and juicing begin.
Re: Superfood of the week-Pomegrantes
I like anar agar koi peel kar dai :)
