Orteat’s Organic Wonderful Pomegranates
Our pomegranates belong to the Wonderful variety and they are originally from the region of Sicily; they have an intense red color and a sweet and sour taste.
The fruits contain a lot of antioxidant properties and can be consumed either fresh or by squeezing them to get a tasty juice: the taste can be bitter in the beginning but pleasant and aromatic in the end.
The pomegranate is a fruit which is highly appreciated for both its organoleptic characteristics and its beneficial properties. Indeed, it is an extraordinary source of vitamin A and C, antioxidants and mineral salts. Moreover, thanks to its content of fibers, it has a depurative and benevolent effect for the bowel, whereas thanks to the presence of tannins and ellagic acids it acts as an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent.
The fruit can be used for both fresh consumption and for its juice, as well as for the preparation of jams and syrups. The edible usually red parts of the pomegranate, the arils, are the juiciest ones.
