Pomegranate is a fruit with very low caloric value due to its low carbohydrate content. The main component is water, and in terms of other nutrients, it is worth mentioning its mineral contribution of potassium. This mineral is necessary for the transmission and generation of nerve impulses and for muscular activity, as it is involved in the balance of water inside and outside the cell.
Other notable components are citric acid (disinfectant action, alkalizes urine, and enhances the action of vitamin C), malic acid, flavonoids (antioxidant pigments), and tannins, the latter being substances with astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
The pomegranate originates from Asia (Persia and Afghanistan) and countries in Eastern Europe, such as Greece. Currently, its cultivation has spread throughout Europe, Asia, and America, with notable production in Afghanistan, Brazil, Israel, California, and Spain
It has thick skin and scarlet or golden color. It is globe-shaped. Its interior is divided by a white membrane, where each cavity houses numerous vesicles filled with red or pink pulp. It has an acidic taste due to its citric acid content.
The most produced varieties in Spain are Grano de Elche (which ripens between October and November) and Mollar de Játiva or Mollar de Valencia.
It has a low carbohydrate content and contains vitamin C and B group vitamins. Therefore, it is highly recommended in cases of anemia. Among the minerals, potassium stands out with a high content, and to a lesser extent phosphorus, manganese, calcium, iron, and magnesium.
Its characteristic acidic taste is due to the presence of a large amount of citric acid. It is recommended for relieving asthma, fever, and cardiovascular diseases. It prevents fluid retention. It helps combat hypertension. Its antioxidant properties slow down the aging of certain cells in the body. The tannins in pomegranate are good for cases of diarrhea. Recent studies indicate that consuming pomegranate may be beneficial in the prevention of certain types of cancer.
